Of course it matters not to fanatics but the innocents of which I spoke were involved in no fight and often were not even aware of one. They were sleeping in their beds, playing with their dolls, watching tv. Punks are not targeting them but their firepower is so great and so out of their control that they endanger others.
Sorry if reality once again intrudes on your desire to arm thugs.
"the innocents of which I spoke were involved in no fight and often were not even aware of one"
Has not this life ever been thus?
I would remind you of what Alexander Hamilton wrote in The Federalist Papers (paraphrasing from memory here): "Protestations for the public welfare have been more responsible for the installation of tyranny than all other mechanisms". Or something like that. What you are saying here is a rephrasing of the political left's "It's for the children!" agitprop.
And then you write:
"Punks are not targeting them but their firepower is so great and so out of their control that they endanger others."
I must point out to you that this line of thinking is, in essence, allowing the actions of criminals to dicate what freedoms are allowed the law-abiding. Is that the basis of law for a truly free nation?
By the way, accusing DC of "wanting to arm thugs". That's the argument ad hominem; an indicator that you realize that you are losing the debate.
It is my desire to not be DISARMED by gun haters like you so that if attacked by a thug, who won't disarm no matter what you do, I'll be able to defend myself and my family.
Sorry if you are too deranged in your hate of an inanimate object to see it that way.
