“you really do not understand the mindset of the average gun owner.”
I thought I did. I assumed they were peaceful people who obey laws., and if as a society we would be better off going a different way, they might vote against it but they would respect the law.
I am surprised to learn that this isn’t the case, and that they are secretly pretty close to unleashing their weapons’ on their fellow citizens. Which seems to me (if true) to be MORE of a reason to actually confiscate guns
you keep repeating that people won’t comply. Thats fine. I dont see that as a reason not to enact laws. Thats our point of disagreement. Thank you for taking the tiem to explain
One last question:
Can you think of any other law that would benefit society (like you, taking out the discussion about whether it benefits society) but shouldn’t be or hasn’t been enacted becasue people won’t listen?
I’s a curious argument and other than Chazal , I can’t think of anything like that *
“The obvious answer is one is against halacha and the moral fabric of society and the other isn’t”
Yes! that’s why guns need more restrictions than abortion (I joke)
* I have heard that argument made with abortion (making it illegal would not decrese abortions so why bother) but 1) I don’t find it convincing at all, 2) I have never ever heard it from someone “pro-life” 3) The argument there is that it will not reduce abortions and increase unsafe abortions
