On the Ron and Don Show this week, Don invited folks to enter the arena on the topic of banning AR-15s, a proposal he supports in the wake of too many shootings, local and national. I�ll happily join the arena for the debate because while his argument is emotionally powerful and rooted in good intentions, it�s flawed and dangerous.
Don sets up the argument like this: make a choice � you either say goodbye to the AR-15 (and similar types of guns) or you say goodbye to the innocent lives of children.
It�s a specious choice. It�s also constitutionally invalid.

Of course we could always require those wishing to chill our second amendment rights with this "historical" canard to observe the same restrictions upon their first amendment rights. I.e. they may freely express their opinions in person to anyone willing to listen. Write their manifestos in long hand on parchment with quill pens, copy them out manually, and print their treatises on single plate manual presses, and distribute them by horseback, sailing ship and any animal powered conveyance . It would be historically accurate. |
