I"m new to this forum and this is my first post. I find it incredibly frustrating to have a conversation about the second amentment with someone who's in favor of strict gun control. There's no logic to their argument. I always ask how tightening up the gun availability will take weapons out of the hands of those who would use them for crimes. Weapons, like drugs, are available with ease through the black market. Illegal weapons are already being used, so if I'm a criminal, I'm praying to my GOD that a strict law will be passed. But they just don't want to see the obvious.
I think a lot of their thinking comes from the way they grew up. I started out on a back country road on a small farm in Virginia, where I was hunting along by the age of 11. But if your parents are liberals, don't have any guns in their home, and you were taught only the bad things that guns are capable of, then one can see it. But after you've passed the age of 25, if you haven't figured out that what you were taught was a bunch of crap, then there's not much hope for you.
