This is a tough one. Although most of us support gun rights, we also have other concerns about other rights and which side of the fence we sit. That is all well and good, as all of us think a bit differently than the next. Yet I think that gun control really comes down to people control. The gun grabbers think that if you control the gun....you control the bad guy. All other factors are overlooked or disregarded. Silly things that keep getting in the way like self defense, the 2nd amendment, other implements like knives, crow bars, etc. and the fact that the authorities cannot control inmates that are locked inside prisons from committing murder, rape, robbery and other crimes.
The simple truth is that the Democrats are the head of the spear when it comes to gun control. If your on this site and your a Democrat you know that I am right. (I'm gonna get called an egg sucker for this) And I'm not saying throw the whole dang party out the widow either. A lot of you are right about the stupid things the Republicans have been doing as well. Someone else pointed out that we get so wrapped up in our gun rights, we forget what is happening to other rights,such as the 1st, 5th and 14th amendments and more.
Common sense goes a long way. One person said, and he hated to admit it, but that there are other things more important than gun rights. WHAT WOULD THAT BE? If gun rights equal freedom. If the right of free speech, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness equates to freedom, then what other issues are more important?
So if you don't want to be a single issue voter, then which freedom would you be willing to give up first? In the name of being "well rounded." A person can be a Democrat without voting for a gun grabber. (although I know it's a tall hill to climb) We don't have to vote for any Republican we don't like either.
I am not suggesting that anyone vote for a Democrat or Republican. But why do we have to "compromise" on the right to keep and bear arms or any of our freedoms guaranteed us in the Constitution?
