Articles: What Everyone Forgets When Debating Gun Control

Outstanding article!

Thanks for posting it.

About the only point it does not make is something else that many seem to forget.... the reason for the Second Amendment.

Excellent article. Thanks for posting this. I will share it with my friends and family.

Ehh, I dunno. I agree with the article but it isn't a persuasive one for someone who doesn't already buy into the Pro 2A mentality. It is a lot like theists and apologetics. You only think they are convincing because it backs up what you already believe.

No argument with that logic, however, when was the last time you talked to an anti-gunner where ANYTHING that could be said would cause them to rethink their anti-2A dogma? I have yet to have a conversation like that.

Good read.

Can't argue with this logic...

"Even more significantly, as Prohibition, prostitution, and drugs have proven, illegal isn't synonymous with unavailable."

It worked for me. I am an adult-convert to firearms. I didn't get into them until I was 22 and in college. My buddy Daniel and his dad kept challenging my ideologies and watching Bowling for Columbine pushed me over the edge and help me see the error of my ways. I am not joking.

Fries and Krispy Creme kill more people a year than guns. High capacity fry magazines are not outlawed. High capacity donut boxes are not taxed or banned!

High capacity beer cans, kegs etc. are not banned.
High capacity (and occupancy) vehicles are not banned.
High capacity cigarette cartons are not banned (well not completely).
High capacity candy bags are not banned.
High capacity lawn mowers are not banned.

All of these are dangerous, when not used properly! Our founding fathers did not dream (well at least they did not exist in this form) of these being as dangerous as they are now, so that does not negate the fact that the second ammendment is still there and still valid!

I'm a regular reader of the American Thinker. First I'd heard of the New American web site...I'll have to check it out more often. Any site that post stuff from Sowell can't be all bad.
