Gay marraige, abortion laws under the guise of womens health, etc. Why are these things always a hot topic? Why is universal healthcare a problem? Most sensible non-BLM supporting liberals see things in a similar light as most other sensible people. People's rights shouldn't be trampled on, especially those deemed to be fortified by the constitution and that people deserve a little common decency.

While we all have arguments over things that shouldn't even be an argument everytging becomes polarized. Don't you expect a little bit of pushback when there are a few more ammendments than just the second?

A more moderate party draws votes, and in a two party system votes influence platforms. A republican party that isn't infected with overbearing religous morality, anti-science, heartless self interest, and wall building might just make for a democratic party that isn't infected with antigun, black lives matter, make everyone feel like a snowflake, hand outedness.

I don't deny there's an issue on our side of things. Just that you can't have a group of people go off the deep end and not expect some people on the other side to respond in kind.

This begs the question...What are they afraid of?

Since non of their proposed solutions target criminals but rather law abiding citizens, there are really only two logical conclusions:

1. They are afraid of guns themselves.
2. They are afraid of the people who carry them.

The first of these fears is worthy of a new definition in the DSM. There is currently a defined phobia of inanimate humanoid objects moving, as well as a definition for abnormal, pathological fears of injury. Thus it is not inconceivable to assume that a phobia of inanimate objects moving to cause injury would also be pathological.

Conversely, if they are afraid of TLC holders, not guns themselves...well in that case, consider this little 5'1" woman flattered.
