Reply #26: First of all, there are dozens of restrictions on gun ownership already. [View All]

One may be disqualified from legal gun ownership for a number of reasons, and rightly so in my opinion. Unless you have a concrete proposal you'd like to make regarding modifying current gun laws, you're not really saying anything at all.

Second, that "won't someone think of the children" line of argument is both lazy and intellectually dishonest. There is always a balance to be struck between personal liberty and safety, and every one of us believes that tradeoffs are necessary to some degree. So don't pretend that you're the only one sensitive enough to consider human beings in this equation.
