Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: Questions on gun-control/rights [View all]You are confused. 
There are endless exemptions to your rights:

Those rights don't belong to you as much as you might think they do. 
You certainly cant spend your money however you want. You can't walk around nude. You can't buy certain plants. 
You have substantially fewer right than you think. 
I'm suggesting taking away another, to protect society as a whole. 
It's not an uncommon practice in fact. 
And if guns were as hard to get as anthrax or say the black death - legal but almost impossible to get - that would also be fine.

        On your statement about Jefferson: I think you've been somewhat misled about him.
