67. It is impossible to negotiate when the enemy wants everything
Sometimes, even the NRA makes sense. In a normal society, perhaps we could make compromises and actually work out some agreements on ways to limit guns and be done with it. But, much like abortion, that can't be the case.

Just as there are anti-Choice forces out there seeking to ELIMINATE abortion, there are anti-gun forces seeking to ELIMINATE gun rights.

That means every compromise, every agreement chips away at the rights. Each time, the line of compromise is moved ever closer to losing those rights entirely.

I am pro-Choice. It is an issue of freedom.

I am pro-gun. It is an issue of freedom.
