About “reasonable controls”; if I recall correctly, that’s how a persons rights are stripped away incrementally.
I believe this same argument was used in the 1930’s to promulgate Germany’s racial purity and marriage laws.
They used the same “reasonable controls” to deal with the mentally and physically handicapped in their country.
Then the same “reasonable controls” were applied to any political opposition.
Ultimately those “reasonable controls” were applied to any Jew or any person who had a Jewish ancestor.
I personally don’t much care for OTHER PEOPLES REASONABLE CONTROLS.
Nor do I. I'm being realistic. Perhaps the only need is to enforce the laws. In this last massacre, it's unbelievable how many situations weren't addressed that would've stopped this. Could it be that the laws on the book aren't being enforced so that there will be demands for more laws?
We're way too close to becoming a totalitarian state.
