      Odd how many Americans invoke the 2nd Amendment to justify gun ownership, rather than explore whether or not it's a good idea

      I explore whether it’s a good idea. You don’t. You just tweet one-liners.

      So then the tweet does not apply to you. And of course it was a one liner because that's what tweets are.

          a very very good point Neil. Freedom & guns sadly seem to be fused together. 2nd Amendment needs discussion.

          I want to know why gun control is the immediate conversation and not radical Islam and the massive immigration.

          the tweet has a premise that something's "odd". but why is it odd? please explain. a one liner should suffice

          It ignores the countless people who support gun rights but don't want to own guns themselves.
