So. . .You do not claim to have a 2nd amendment right to bear arms?

Enlighten me. I don't really see anything in the US as a right. They're all privileges, pretty much. "Good judgment." "Reasonable and prudent person." Etc. Flavor of the week.

So you're ok with being censored, tossed in jail without charges, having your home invaded and searched or taken from you without cause. . .
Because if not, then you believe you have a right to not have those things happen to you. .

Entitled would be wrong. I have to be a certain age, residency, criminal status, etc. Sounds like a privilege to me.

That would kind of be my point. ..

You're suggesting: Let gun people babble and "your kind" can stop telling us we're "wrong?"

No, I'm not. You really do need to read my post again. I'm suggesting that if gun people CLAIM to have a RIGHT, then they should stop trying to explain to us why they NEED a gun. If it is a RIGHT, then they do not NEED to have a reason to exercise that RIGHT.
I am further suggesting that if they continue to tell me that they need a gun to shoot a bad guy or to protect themselves from bears, or to stop a bad government, that they are justifying their desire to have a gun, and since they feel there is a need to justify their desire to have a gun, they do not feel it is an absolute RIGHT.
Yes, it is, and that means I get to have my opinion too, hmm?
