[Vision2020] Hmmm . . .

[Donovan Arnold]

Why should a society allow weapons of mass murder to be manufactured, distributed and sold to private citizens? What purpose does it serve that society? What we are saying is, it is OK to allow a few unstable people access to unlimited firepower to commit mass murder in exchange for someone to pursue a pointless hobby. Which is the greater need; people to not get shot, or the need for you to own something which you will never use?

We're not talking just about opinions, we're talking people banning other people from buying certain things, just because they are of the opinion that they are bad or that they could be used by someone, someday, to do bad things.  It's the Nanny State vs. the independent citizen fight, once again.

I've always been a strong proponent of freedom of expression and encourage people to make up their own minds about things.

Hmmmmm - isn't one opinion just as valid as another opinion?

Just wondering???
