The rights of a few.

‘Few’?

A right is a right. Whether it is excercised by all or not. In California gun owner may be a minority. In many other states they are the majority. In any case a right is a right.

The ‘few’ who do exercise this right are the ones that provide safety to those who do not.

There may only be a ‘few’ CCL carriers in a shopping mall. But these few provide safety for all those there. Just look at Portland recently.

Her statement is reckless and dangerous.

“allow the rights”? Sorry, you asshats don’t “allow” rights. Your job is to protect our rights. What don’t you understand about that? How friggin’ arrogant. But fitting and in compliance with the rules and regulations of ignorant radical left wing extremists. If you aren’t doing your job as you swore to do then it is required of you to resign your position for the good of the nation. Yeah, I know, good luck with that happening.

Molon labe.

Share the lead.

Her statement is not only "reckless and dangerous" but a justification for every species of tyranny imaginable.

Our rights come from God. By Feinstein's logic, God is making us unsafe. Let that sink in for a minute.

Good. Now consider the lack of logic involved in the gun grabbers' central premise. My right to own a gun derives from my God-given right to self-defense, as recognized (not bestowed, mind you) by our Constitution.

In what manner does my right make anyone unsafe? If my intentions are honorable and my behavior appropriate, as the law presumes, the tools I choose to defend myself are of no concern to anyone, except perhaps to a person who means me harm, i.e., a criminal. And the proper use of such tools may also serve to make others safer as well, by providing them protection from people with bad intentions. And that, after all is what truly matters: intention, because inanimate objects don't employ themselves.
