(50,557 posts)When you can find me an instance of someone driving to another state, aiming a same-sex marriage at someone, pulling the trigger and killing them, then "same-sex marriages" and "guns" are a valid comparison.
Let's make this very simple:
GUNS ARE DESIGNED TO KILL.
Same-sex marriages are not designed to kill. Pipe wrenches are not designed to kill. Barber scissors are not designed to kill. But you need a license to do all those things, and none of those licenses cross state lines. (Marriages are recognized nationwide, but you need to have the ceremony performed in the state the license was issued in.) If a state wants to recognize the validity of a gun license issued in another state, it's their right to - but we have no business forcing states to recognize out-of-state gun licenses against their will. If you're so scared of the boogeyman that you have to walk around packed 24/7, maybe travel is not for you.
