Questions and these questions apply to the peanut gallery as well:
1) What solutions do you propose and why do you believe they are reasonable?
For example, Byron you know that a blanket repeal of the second amendment would never fly in current American politics. You also offered an amendment, what would your amendment include and why? On a more focused front aside from the second amendment, what do you suppose we do with current right to carry laws? Why?
Too often the debate becomes bogged down with ideologies and dogma that when it actually comes time for reasonable action, both sides only want what their ideologies and dogma dictate. We saw this in America after Sandy Hook. We had a chance of reasonable gun control that was blown because of the anti-gun activists spooking and delaying the negotiations with talks of assault rifle bans and magazine clip bans instead of background checks and other more reasonable measures. It allowed the extremist NRA to assume control of the debate and through massive lobbying, blocked the bipartisan gun control bill that was supported not only by the people, but reasonable and fair-minded gun activists. So what reasonable solutions do you propose and why?
2) On what basis should a person's right to carry be restricted?
Even this issue can be divided into subsections. On one hand you can legal carry in your home and car, but not in public. Other places restrict hospital carry rights and school carry rights, but allow in public. Where should the line be drawn and why?
3) If you could not repeal the second amendment but could free of pass amendment it, what would you amend it to and why?
4) What evidence do you have that restricting a person's right to carry substantially alters crime, gun deaths, and accidents?
For example, the guns are still in circulation, it just is illegal to carry the firearms on you, except for express purpose of transport and then it would have to be in a carrying case unloaded. Does limiting the right to carry prevent more deaths or more crime?
I await Byron's answers and I do urge those in the peanut gallery to sincerely answer the questions as well.
