Commenter "Italian Rose" asked: Could somebody tell me with a straight face tell me that your inalienable right to own a gun outweighs the nation's inalienable right to be free from gun violence.

See the stupidity meme we're up against? This is what passes for allowable thinking on the Left. As if "the nation" could somehow have an inalienable right! Not to mention the obvious fact that the solution to "gun violence" - which can only realistically mean criminal acts carried out with guns - IS the people's inalienable right to own a gun. The Left has literally conflated gun ownership with the act of committing crimes with guns.

Stupid? I used to think so. Except if you conflate any other right with a crime, like, oh, free speech for example, the same liberals turn into Constitutional scholars. But then they go stupid again when you bring up freedom of religion for Christians. But then they turn into scholars when you invoke it for Muslims or atheists.

Not stupid.

Evil.

Stupid is evil’s other, less threatening, face.

self-defense with a gun is not “gun violence.” self-defense stops gun violence, which is what the thug crimnal is doing.

there’s the assumptive fatal flaw in the libtard argument.
