51. Threatening?
One person saying they will harm another is threatening.

Pointing a gun at someone without cause is threatening.

We have laws against threatening speech and we have laws against threatening people with guns. I support both types of laws.

But if people have rights then putting exorbitant fees around those rights takes away those rights, especially from the poor.

I support licensing, background checks etc and we already have those things with driver licenses.

You sound very angry. As I said I am, intrinsically anti-gun. I don't know if you resent the thought of losing an ally. You haven't, but your apparent anger does nothing to make me want to race to your side of the divide.
