I have already done so and you are still spewing the same nanny-state, totalitarian crap. Just own it, you don't believe in freedom, you think you are better than others and think you should be able to tell them how to live, think and act because you are an elitist snob. Own it, you will feel better. |

Obviously he doesn't believe in freedom. He doesn't even know what freedom is. He denies the existence of rights or he thinks they come from "society". He's clueless.

Heelllloooooooo?
C-mom pierce... its your time! Time to shine, finally, a perfect opening, time to finally, logically, succinctly, absolutely, refute the gun owning argument once and for all, without all that emotional blather that has been getting in everyone else's way... I set you up man! Here you go! |

All he can say is "rights don't exist unless "society" gives them to you without anything to back up his claims. He denies the very existence of rights. You can't reason with someone who is unreasonable.

The guys and I invented a skeet called rugby at lunchtimes on the ranch. No time now, but I'll tell you about it later.

To take it from another direction, PH; do you have the right to live?
If your local town decided one day that in order to maintain order, you had to be randomly killed, because there were too many people living in your area. Would you go to the killing station and accept your fate because some form of society said so? |

In reality, we have no rights but our society invented "the right to live" to keep stablility and avoid chaos. I agree with the idea of rights in most aspects, I am just disagreeing that they are natural and they are universal.
I would rebel and and not accept to be killed but I am also not saying we should ban guns either. |

Society decides the extent of your right to live, whether it comes to the death penalty, self defense, wars, etc.
Like all of the rights affirmed in the Constitution, society defines the limits.

"If mankind minus one were of one opinion, then mankind is no more justified in silencing the one than the one - if he had the power - would be justified in silencing mankind."
- John Stewart Mill That is unless the one might have the intention of doing 'harm' to the others, or the others had the intention of doing 'harm' to the one. I always find it's a bad idea to quote philosophers on message boards because there are always a lot more variables than that which can be contained in one single quote.
