If you ever wondered what Skinner thought about pro-gun posts

32. Ok.

We really need to admit that we have a gun violence culture that does not exist in other countries.

Can we also admit that this culture you refer to is comprised by less than a tenth of a percent of those who own guns?

It is as if we are to accept gun violence as a given rather then do anything to try and control guns in this country because of the 2nd Amendment.

That's based on the premise that gun control is the only answer. Do you really think it is the only answer?

The problem as I see it is in the Supreme Court's interpretation of the meaning of the 2nd Amendment.
I do not agree that the 2nd Amendment conveys the right to keep and bear arms in the abstract.

And yet, amendment 2 restricts only government, not individuals. It can not convey or grant any rights. It can only protect them.

My vision is that everyone in this country, gun owners and non gun owners would agree that we can't keep ignoring the gun violence problem we have.

I think everyone already agrees with this. The 99.9x percent of gun owners that aren't committing any gun violence, however, do not appreciate it being laid at their feet as if they are the problem.

Because they aren't.
