They are circling the wagons in support of an individuals 'right' to kill kindergarteners.
Hyperbole? Not this time. There is no other way for them to spin it.
I can't wait until they start talking again.

(6,380 posts)The insanity has finally reached the point of indefensible.
Gun-looney attacks congresswoman - "but if one of her aides had a concealed weapon, all would be well".
Gun-looney attacks movie theater - "but if a movie goer had a concealed weapon, all would be well".
Gun-looney attacks kindergarten - crickets...because there is absolutely no rejoinder that ends with ",all would be well".
Let's start a conversation of "hierarchy of rights". I think my child's right to survive kindergarten trumps you're right to own an arsenal befitting a third world warlord. Yeah - I know - "It's complicated"...but seriously, isn't that what it all really boils down to.

In my opinion, saying my support for legal hard alcohol means I support an individual's right to give young children hard alcohol misrepresents my actual position.
I'm not a gun guy, but I do think your argument is hyperbole. The NRA's position does make gunning down children easier, just like my position makes giving children alcohol easier, but neither of us advocate for those things.

(29,047 posts)I would also like to point out that my "favorite" group and forum doesn't include RKBA. They're GD and Religion.
If you have the ability to argue against my argument, then you should do so. Show me the errors of my ways.
