Using a firearm to commit murder is also a choice. Yet many who hold government positions seek to take that choice away from members of the public, by depriving them of firearms through whatever means possible.
To the contrary it does. It was stated on the part of yourself that smoking is an individual choice, made by individuals who know the risks but still make dumb decisions. Meaning that if they smoke in the presence of others, they are not only knowingly but also deliberately exposing others to the same health hazards that they consider to be acceptable to themselves. Making it no different than an individual using a firearm for the purpose of committing harm to others.
Take from thee, not from me. Those who enjoy the luxury of armed security don't feel the need for me to protect my family.
Based on a poll from 2013 that has been proven to be incorrect due to the low number (less than 500) people polled. In other words fake polling, fake results, = GCA lies. They are already in place, but seldom used due to the cost of enforcing them. Maybe get a clue of the subject before asking for more laws while the existing laws that are designed to prevent such, are not being enforced. By the way, Politifact is a well known for finding leftist lies to be factual.
Governments kill unarmed citizens by the tens of millions, and, en masse, by the hundreds of millions. This is one reason, though not the only one, why most of us do not want to be disarmed. Bernie's black-shirted Berniebros, otherwise known as Antifa, or Aint-I-Fascist, will be a serious threat over the next years, whether or not Bernie wins the election.
Because governments are killing tens of millions of unarmed people. If they're not killing tens of millions of us, it's because we're armed. Berniebros aren't government yet, but should Bernie win they'll be "not government" in the same way that Hitler's brown shirts were "not government" but we'll still need to defend against them.
