        None of our rights, no matter how fundamental, are absolute, not least because they sometimes conflict with each other. But our Constitution enumerated the big ones for a reason. Restrictions of them should be compellingly justified & narrowly tailored.

        88,000 alcohol related deaths each year,12k were DWI. CDC. Here’s the ugly reality-there are trade offs in society. 500 horrific deaths per year from rifles is a nightmare. But it is a trade off almost two magnitudes smaller than alcohol. And that is purely for pleasure.

        I have always believed that compromise should be reached. Increased federal background checks and permitting reqs with ease in licensing laws, like maybe a national shall issue carry permit that overrides states denying their citizens the right to bear arms. But no one will budge

        I don't buy the slippery slope argument. Each restriction should be considered on its own merits. Besides, our Constitution makes it nearly impossible to take away all the guns. So, people need to stop suggesting that the slope is even going there.
