Gun Control & RKBA

(11,181 posts)I support fairness and equality. Any government controls should apply uniformly, without prejudice. As you know, my argument is principally about behavior, as in self-control, rather than government control. I enjoy shooting guns as much as the next guy, but if they were all to disappear tomorrow, I wouldn't shed a tear.
The "B" in RKBA is the problem. You can call it a right, but it is always going to be a restricted right. So the word "right" is rather deceptive. It is also a "right" that is still exercised predominantly by a segment of the ruling class, those same white males.
I know that it is not the same in your family, but most females do not carry guns, yet they are the most vulnerable members of society.
And many men use that to bolster their support for carrying. The silence of women who support CC, here in the gungeon, is deafening.
