See, I beleive that taking a principled stand, no matter how ludicrous, for the sake of the principles alone is the height of idiocy. "The Right To Bare
Arms" is no more absolute than the right to Free Speech.
Your right to Free Speech ends with you shouting "Fire" in a crowded theatre and your right to Bare Arms has to end somewhere before we give a single
individual the ability to annihilate New York City with the press of a button.
I'm with M Fnord for the most part.I think that you have the right to bare arms, but that this shoudl require at leats as much oversight as car operation
and ownership. People who want to buy guns would need a gun owners liscensee which would require passing a basic safety test (which must be renewed
periodically) and each gun must be liscensed and registered with the government. After that, own all the guns you want.
My personal line of "absolute rights" to "practical considerations of actula reality" is draw at assualt weapons, but that I am open to
debate on.
