Cats, Guns, and National Security

EXPANDED VERSION HERE: http://catsgunsandnationalsecurity.blogspot.com/2018/03/expanded-my-crazy-idea-for-resolving.html Being functionally focused when it comes to our rights, I take theologian Peter Marshall's approach of seeing freedom as the ability to do what is right, not entitlement to do simply what we want. Thus, here's my suggestion for resolving the whole "assault weapon" debate.  It's not ideal, but politics are always iffy, and it's better than a catastrophic loss of the Second Amendment.  (Original here: http://catsgunsandnationalsecurity.blogspot.com/2018/02/my-crazy-idea-for-resolving-assault.html ) BASIS : From "7 Terrible Liberal Gun Control Arguments ...

Trump wants CCW reciprocity as separate bill. Trump's dealmaking style means listening to all sides openly. Never supported AW ban at the meeting. Ppl need to THINK! "Due process 2nd" refers to "gun violence restraining orders." Differences can exist between parties of reason. pic.twitter.com/pjgmWq7bNV — L. T. Walker (@TgGRA) March 2, 2018

No one on either side would like this... So it just might be the answer. It's not what I'd prefer, but I'm practical. Click to enlarge. From "7 Terrible Liberal Gun Control Arguments ...

Some basic info that should settle the tone. I have some specific crazy ideas, and may discuss them in a future post. "I used to think gun control was the answer.

Walker (@TgGRA) February 21, 2018 This is important info to put "gun violence" in context. The USA is no where near the most dangerous nation for gun violence and then when you add the data of gun ownership to crime rate and it is especially stark. pic.twitter.com/jgIZbBnT4k — Warner Todd Huston (@warnerthuston) February 20, 2018

From " Crossing the Trump Rubicon ," by Victor Davis Hanson, 06 NOV 2017. Like it or not, Donald Trump in fits and starts has chosen not to accommodate the progressive vision. But in most unlikely fashion he leads the fight against it. ... And yet, warts and all, the Trump presidency on all fronts is all that now stands in the way of the completion of what was started in 2009 . Looking back, the improbable election of 2016 proved a Rubicon moment. Once Trump crossed over the Rubicon, carried by his base of “crazies,” “irredeemables,” and “deplorables,” the die had been cast, and those who were fearful where America had been headed had no choice but to follow him through the river. Either Trump will restore economic growth, national security, the melting pot, legality, and individual liberty or he will fail and we will go the way of Europe. https://amgreatness.com/2017/11/06/crossing-the-trump-rubicon/
