[QUOTE="henschman, post: 1994607, member: 4235"] Which of your other rights would it not bother you to get permission from the government order to exercise? Speech? Should we go back to requiring a license to publish a book, like in Merrye ole England? The pen is mightier than the sword, after all. How about having a kid? Seems to me that the unregulated exercise of that right is more dangerous than anyone carrying a gun. :rolleyes: If this sort of regulation bothers you but gun control doesn't, ask yourself why it is just certain rights you are willing to allow to be infringed. Consider that it might be because things have always been that way in your lifetime, and it is hard for you to imagine such things NOT being regulated. The bottom line is that such infringements may not bother YOU, but neither you nor anyone else has a right to tell someone that they have to get permission to do something which doesn't threaten anyone else's rights in any way. Living by that principle is the only chance we have at anything resembling a free and civilized society. Otherwise it just comes down to a numbers game: who can pull together the biggest voting bloc, the biggest special interest group, or the biggest group of armed men. [/QUOTE]
