You Just Want Everyone to Have a Gun!
Posted on January 19th, 2016 by DRGO
When a person who believes in strict gun control argues with a supporter of gun rights, you can tell when one of them realizes they can't win the argument.
The gun owner will usually fall back on the Second Amendment and the phrase "shall not be infringed" as being the final word on the subject. Supporters of more gun control laws will often resort to some variation of: "You just want everyone to have a gun!"
This argumentum ad absurdum signals their inability to process any more information that runs contrary to their world view. End of discussion. But let's examine this statement further and see where it leads.
To start with, nobody advocates universal gun ownership. There are obviously many people who should not have a gun. Some easy examples would be people with certain severe mental illnesses, people below a certain age and those who have committed violent crimes......... 
It is always refreshing to read opinion from "Doctors for Responsible Gun Ownership", as all too often the blanket impression of doctors is that they are all anti-gun. Here is an article with the belief that the vast majority of mentally competent, non-criminal, adult Americans deserve the freedom to make their own choice, and those who live where that freedom is recognized do a pretty good job of it.
