Most pro gun advocates are not defending the right of owning guns for its recreational use.
If it was possible to remove every single gun from the country (and completely prevent new ones from been manufactured or smuggled in ) then it would make sense to prohibit gun ownership ; the reality is however that if we just ban it then who would give them up ? Only law oviding citizens would , the ones who want to harm with guns will not give them up. Those of us who do want respect law will not have a way to defend ourselves.
There is also the importance of defending ourselves from the government in situations like Venezuela or nazi Germany
.. the fear with “controls” is where would the limit be? How much control would we allow before letting our right to own guns disappear.
Anyhow some stricter gun control does make sense … the nra has done some great stuff to protect the 2nd amendment but sometimes their protecting of guns as s sport (as a business ) is a bit extreme.
Heroin is very different of course but if the government takes away the right to hace heroin , the good guys are not going to be less protected …
