Let's Go Right for the Big Topics: Gun Control Part 4

Salvete. I chose to save Part 3 for another day. Here is Part 4.

If I were purposefully trying to take people's constitutional rights away, I would pit one against the other. I would give the people a choice: choose one to protect the other. This is exactly what gun control lobbyists are doing: they are pitting the right to privacy against the right to bear arms through background checks. "Do you want to bear arms? First, then, we will have to dig into your personal background. Yes, the fact that you have a dog named Sandy is very important to seeing whether or not we can sell you a gun." Eventually, we will either not have our second amendment rights or not have our fourth amendment rights. (Of course, recent news has shown us that we don't have fourth amendment rights anyway, but that is a different debate entirely).

Also, I don't think the American people realize how much power they are giving the government via background checks. We are giving the government the keys to our personal life, records that we do not want to be put out in public, and so much more. We would not even tell some of our friends what we tell to the government. The government is trying to achieve omnipotence, and we just let them go on their merry way. Why should we give the government another ounce of power?

Thank you very much for viewing. Today is the one-week anniversary of Plaustrum20 Politics and the birth of the sister blog Plaustrum20 Gaming. At nearly 40 views, I think we have made a lot of progress and are ready for more. Have a nice day.
