Line 5 and 6 seem to contradict each other. From 5 it looks like you want to more "gun licensing" and in line 6 you want not to "deny rights". Whereas gun licensing (any licensing, technically speaking) is the denial of right.
And any argument (of which there are many valid ones) for gun licensing is precisely what you're arguing against:
"Everyone gotta have The Gun License because think of the children" ... even if it deprives someone from the right to protect their life.
- nine_zeros 3y agoI think you missed the part where I say: "The only place this "Everyone gotta do XYZ" trope doesn't apply" This means that the only place where the denial of rights is not applied systematically is in gun rights. Another way to read it is: Every other right is treated worse than gun rights. And that is unfair to any unbiased observer.
- Clubber 3y agoGun ownership rights are constantly being attacked, I'm not sure what you're talking about. Freedom of speech is also constantly under attack, as is press. Religion is constantly under attack too. Freedom of assembly is almost non-existent. Any government redress is fine as long as it can be ignored. That's just the first two amendments.
- nine_zeros 3y agoThey are attacked because people can see that guns are given more rights than humans.
- Clubber 3y ago>They are attacked because people can see that guns are given more rights than humans. What nonsense. The right to own guns by citizens is what is being attacked.

- kika 3y agobut you don't have soldiers in your home! at least 3A is fine.
- kika 3y agoNo, gun rights are violated much more and more deeply than for example 1A rights. Convicted felon who paid their debts to society can absolutely post on Quora and be a recognized popular author there and become a radio or TV host, etc. And felony absolutely doesn't mean violence. Driving 50mph above speed limit in Florida could be a felony. Buy a Ferrari, lose your gun rights!
- Clubber 3y agoRights for me and not for thee.
