Guns cost our society more freedom than they are worth. I, personally, will not limit your rights. If I were made supreme ruler and law-maker of the USA tomorrow, I would not pass whatever gun laws I pleased, but instead, try to convince people, as I am doing now, that limiting the ability to own guns is the choice people should make. If enough people believed me, then such laws would be passed. That can only be done by a democratic process, when people are willing to do it.
Rights come from one of two places.
Either they are granted by God, or they are formed in agreement among people. Since God, although an important part of American society, has no official place in American government, our system of rights is based on an implicit social contract, one in which the general goal is to maximize freedom. Only when the American public comes to its senses and realizes that guns cost more than they are worth, will we all agree to limit one freedom, to provide us with another. Well, as I indicated above, we can't, unless they are willing to. This is why I advocate explaining the costs of guns as much as possible, and fighting the gun lobby at every turn.
