    David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Joe Walsh

    Joe makes my argument for me. Gun nuts value their absolute gun rights more than they value the lives of their children—or their precious law enforcement officers, for that matter. To them, dead children and dead cops are a price worth paying for their "right" to bear arms.https://twitter.com/walshfreedom/status/964264507588710401 …

    If you're using the U.K., Canada, or Australia as examples of #guncontrol, you're missing one crucial fact: None of these countries afford their citizens a Constitutional Right to keep and bear arms.

        gun-nuts also value the 2nd Amendment above all others, eg, no issues with potential 4th Amendment violations by the TSA - "we gotta do whatever we gotta do to stop them damn arabs from blowin' up planes"

        Not to mention dead civilians. Why are US cops so trigger-happy? Probably because with so many guns around, they have a much bigger chance of running into someone armed with one in every encounter.

        Incidentally, it's worth remembering that SCOTUS only created an individual right to own guns in 2008, in Heller. Before that, it had somehow gone unnoticed for over 200 years. "Bear arms" was never understood as an individual right by any contemporary writer.

        He is also missing that none of the countries he mentioned have degenerated into the authoritarian hellscapes that people like him predict will happen without such an extremist interpretation of the 2nd A. Instead it's the USA leading the way, largely due the GOP.

        The Second Amendment blows. If I had a time machine it’d be on my list of things to change.

        It also makes sense as in Canada I would like to believe that we understand gun ownership is not a right, but a privilege and not one to take lightly at all.

        Has he heard accounts from the kids that survived? Because I know a couple of them and you can’t hear them talk about this and hold on to this effing nonsense at the same time.

        It's all about perceived moral purity. He must be better than you. And it prevents him from accepting dialog.
