Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Guns only protect people from people with guns, and also you will find that if you wanted to be a well-funded militia you should be allowed an ICBM in your back yard.
I agree that it's not so simple as just getting rid of all the guns but we could stop entertaining people who get angry at things like "maybe you should have a background check first" which are more than reasonable. I don't think that the U.S. should allow guns. I just concede that it's too late for us to wave the magic wand of the law and vanish them away.
But I would like to think that the founding fathers would be horrified by what we've done with this, in terms of twisting it way out of proportion to what it should have been and what it was for. Obviously they had weird ethics by our standards and did a lot of stuff we'd rightly disagree with. But if I was founding a country and I was giving everyone the right to have guns and a time traveler came back in time and told me what exactly that meant and explained to me that allowing guns didn't mean muskets but instead these things that can spew hundreds of bullets like nothing, I'd like to think that I'd stop, and I'd like to think that they would have too.
