It's The Wrong Purpose

Bob Burg says, "In the parking lot of my local Publix grocery store, I saw a pickup truck recently with a bumper sticker that read: 'Gun control means hitting your target.' Ha ha. That’s really funny. Actually, it kind of is funny. And, those of us who agree with the Supreme Court’s recent decision--that gun ownership is an individual right--would probably agree that this is exactly how gun control should be defined. However, it is not a particularly effective bumper sticker if our goal is to persuade gun control advocates to re-think their position." Frankly, I think he is very wrong. You're not going to convince gun-control activists anytime in this century that they're wrong. They KNOW they're wrong, and they don't care. They're determined to disarm America so the "federal agents" they send in the future to take what's ours won't be met with guns when they break in our doors. These people aren't dumb. They realize that a CRIMINAL, who breaks laws for a living, won't obey a law that says he can't be armed. It's not their goal to disarm CRIMINALS, no matter what they say. It is to disarm HONEST people who OBEY laws. If anybody can convince me otherwise with LOGIC, not slogans, I'd be happy to change MY position. (Atlasphere)
