You truly "get" how civil rights work!!

Here at DU, their are significant numbers of posters, who are willing to put all kinds of restrictions on guns, "just because their guns", without even thinking for a moment, if someone used those same arguments against "another civil right"

For example, some say the "Why do you need a gun? How would these same people agree with someone asking "Why do you NEED a computer? {To exercise your free speech right?}

These are the people so dangerously shortsighted, as to not understand the long term consequence of their stances and the legislation they support.

They full well endorse, using "needs" qualifiers on the 2nd Amendment, but would cry "Foul" when a repuke uses their same argument on the rest of the document..
