Ohhh I understand now, you’re one of those people that reads “gun control” and thinks it’s means “ take away all the guns”.

This was fun but I could write 10 long drawn out comments about how requiring somebody to take a test to own a gun just like we do when somebody wants to drive isn’t equivalent to taking away all the guns ( you know people who own cars yes ? You’ve seen them out in the wild ?) and you’ll still think everybody is trying to take away your guns.

You also think alcohol is a right which just... ya. You know your country still have dry counties right ?

I do not support dry counties or even the stupid laws that ban alcohol early sunday morning.

I support their right to have a ban like that on a very local level, though, even if I would prefer that no county has a ban such as that.

I also recall you saying something akin to that small change gun control is a step on the path to very wide and broad gun control, so I really can't see you as a strong supported of limited gun control. In another few years, you'd be preaching for a ban if you got your way.

No I didn’t, you’re just having a hard time keeping usernames straight. Even the person you think you’re talking to only said changes in gun control would lead to a shift in cultural feelings towards gun which isn’t a bad thing at all. Gun owners in your country being more intelligent wouldn’t be a bad thing.

I don’t care about how you feel on dry counties. It’s just pretty funny to call alcohol a right when you live in a country where it’s clearly not a right.
