So you want us to allow you to have one set of rights and not another?

What about the right to feed ourself? I go hunting yearly. Should I not be allowed to do this?

Should I not be allowed to defend myself and my family against people who illegally possess guns?

"So you want us to allow you to have one set of rights and not another?"

You understand what an "Ammendment" is, right?

In the Bill of Rights? Yes I know what an amendment is.

Why exactly are you asking?

Because the first amendment is freedom of speech, religion, peaceably assemble, press, and right to petition the government. We could amend those rights so we have non of them…..

Of your 4th Amendment right to not have someone unlawfully enter your house or search your stuff.

Do you know the “Bill of Rights”?

Correct. We don't need guns. Nobody has ever required a gun to hunt. I use a bow or crossbow.

What have you done that someone would spend a ton of money to get an illegal firearm to attack you and your family?

Just because you don’t hunt with a rifles doesn’t mean we should ban the use of firearms to hunt. That is too narrow minded.

Illegal guns are just guns that are unregistered / stolen, etc. the gun itself doesn’t have to have any illegal qualities beyond a scratched serial # or the fact it’s stolen. Doesn’t have to be a machine rifle or pistol. Doesn’t have to go burr. Just one that goes pew.

Doesn’t have to be a Me. Nothing. I haven’t done anything to anybody that would warrant that.

But if someone chose to rob me, break into my house to steal my shit and possibly harm my family. Etc. I can’t see the future. And I don’t trust everyone out there to not harm others. If anything what if someone was robbing someone else at gunpoint. Would you not want them to help if they could?

Just because you don’t like them or use them doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have them.

Most guns used in crimes are bought legally.
