Believing in basic rights for everyone makes you an intolerant radical extremist. Take a look at that. Be aware that adopting centrist positions does not automatically grant you a moral high ground either.
I heard many arguments for gun control already. After some thought I remain non-convinced.
Also please refrain from insulting my intelligence and assuming nonsense about me because frankly you know nothing about me.

Look, I’m not a mod obviously, but as the person that started this thread, can everyone please try to keep things civil here? We’re all pro-gun. I’d personally love to see nationwide constitutional carry and legalization of automatic firearms. Will probably never happen, but all it is is discussion.

So yeah, you don’t have to agree with a lot of things in the mainstream discourse from either “the right” or “the left.” But don’t pretend to be the good guy when you’re a radical extremist who won’t accept anything other than your ill-thought, uneductaed whackjob fantasy.

Compromise
noun: an agreement or a settlement of a dispute that is reached by each side making concessions.
Accepting only a fathest extreme viewpoint position, one more than even the vast majority of conservatives, is not a compromise at all. You don’t sound very intelligent when you make statements like that.
Gun control is any measure that bans or restricts any use, possession, or location of guns in any way. It includes things like age minimums on gun purchases. A full abolition of all gun control would mean it would be legal to sell guns to any 8 year old who walks into a shop, and then for that child to go to school and fire their guns on school grounds. That’s just one of many examples of gun control almost anyone should easily be able to think of off the top of their head.
A full abolition of all gun control would be less gun control than was implemented in the wild west.
I can discuss with and respect people who have some semblance of a thought-out and respectable position on gun control. I can respect someone whose position is that of having no waiting periods and no bans or restrictions related to adult purchases of guns by non-felons. On the flip side, I can also respect someone who believes in banning all magazines over a certain capacity, and raising age minimums to 21 on all purchases and possession.
I don’t agree with either of those positions, but I can respect them because beliefs come from a place of critical thinking and rationale, and both leave some room for healthy, honest, discussion and deliberation.
It is futile to deal with and impossible to respect someone who has the simultaneous positions of, “my way or the highway” and also, “this is the most extreme position someone could possibly have” in one direction or the other. I’d be a little surprised if a person like that didn’t have to either pay, intimidate/abuse, or use alcohol to have sex.

Wow, more drama in the Furbooru weapons thread in 1 month than the Derpibooru weapons thread has had in 1 year.

I think I’ll just leave, since it’s really not enjoyable being in the presence of radical extremists. (Not talking about Magpul cause he actually listens and is willing to be rational, think about different angles on things, and hear people out even if he doesn’t agree with them.)

Adding that we have already made many “compromises” unless you’ve been living under a rock and don’t know about the National Firearms Act, the Gun Control Act of 1968, FOPA (which barely protected gun owners at the cost of more prohibition) etc. Considering all of this you pretend to add more burdens? No thanks. The only acceptable compromise is a full abolition of all gun control.
