Does that extend to any other right. It gets dangerously close the idea of banning offensive speech. Should we stop people from expressing a view if I can't be sure it won't offend me?Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00427964335321253510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279973426476621559.post-80239724471010774702012-12-27T00:03:38.857-05:002012-12-27T00:03:38.857-05:00Do you need to know the specifics?

To what extent are you justified in having weapons if I can't trust you to use them responsibly? And to what extent am I justified in having weapons if I can't trust you not to assault me? There's some kind of a conflict of rights or a conflict of interests -- maybe all the rest is a red herring.<br /><br />(The same arguments people make about guns could equally apply to nuclear armaments, training in Tai Kwon Do, or the rest. The particulars are just a distraction.)firezdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473050286104950159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279973426476621559.post-41898775573431155132012-12-24T03:28:09.108-05:002012-12-24T03:28:09.108-05:00I hear that the governor of New York mentioned tha...I hear that the governor of New York mentioned that gun seizures are on the table.<br /><br />That is a very stupid and dangerous thing to propose or implement. Attempts to seize guns from people would almost certainly lead to at least a low level armed rebellion. The American Revolution was kicked into gear when the Brits attempted to seize an arms cache.

They were throwing what THEY KNEW to be outrageously false arguments at Penn and, when he would strike them down, they would shamelessly pull out another lame line. Pathetic. And why the ignorant blame on folks with mental conditions? I thought liberals were open-minded.<br />-AbnerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
