One argument why I am against "common sense" gun control . . .

[ordc]

For the same reason that abortion proponents are against "common sense" abortion laws . . .

It will cause a slippery slope eventually outlawing abortion.

IF one of the FEW things both on each side of the debate can agree upon is that a particular measure WOULDN'T have stopped ANY mass shootings or terrorist events, how in the world can it be called COMMON SENSE?

That's a good point OP. They don't want to have any laws passed which would "infringe" on a woman's right to choose an abortion. It seems they don't want to have anything which would even make her consider changing her mind.

Woman's choice comes when she chooses to spread her legs. Killing an unborn living human is not a choice, it's killing.

One argument why I am against "common sense" gun laws is that "common sense" is far from common sense.

What if she didn't choose to spread her legs? Then what?

Amen...preach!

I recall hearing once that common sense is simply a phrase one uses when one cannot conjure up a valid argument that is capable of convincing the masses of anything. I'm inclined to agree.

You are the only reply I have read to my post that understands what I am trying to write. . .

I am pro abortion. So is the GOP because if they were not, they would use those words, "common sense" when pro life measures are on the table.

I think that the only real common sense abortion control is to ask if the woman was raped (to keep DNA evidence, and go after the guy, etc.) and if underage, her parents will have to be notified but the ultimate decision to have the abortion goes to the girl.

The only common sense gun control is whatever gun control that is applicable to civilians also has to apply equally to government officers. I cannot carry gun, neither can they. I cannot own a certain gun, neither can they, etc.

Common Sense if you are a progressive (liberal) Democrat or a far right Fascist.

Common Sense if you are a progressive (liberal) Democrat or a far right Fascist.

Interestingly enough, there seems to be a new type of far-left Fascist that has arise this past decade, using the lowest-common denominator as the pinnacle for whom all should hold in special regard as the top of the bell-curve, and worse, achieve to be.

I hold enough common sense to know that the government should not be involved with the control, regulation, oversight, or oppression of either issue.

The government can only apply restrictions and regulation, it can not apply common sense or even impress that on third-party sentient beings. The latter is impossible to do. One can not machinate another into using common sense; either you have it by way of experience, or you are naive and ignorant, so you don't. Government can make laws, but laws can not be "common sense" conjuring magic. Thinking, emotional, acting people must apply THEIR common sense; it can't be given like a magic wand. So even under all the mass assembly of laws attempting to mandate common sense (as is the claim) it's an impossible task. People will still act without common sense, either out of ignorance or willful criminality.

Birth control exists and is accessible by most laws, just as is avoiding certain actions that cause pregnancy in the first place; yet common sense does not prevail. Even crimes like rape and pedophilia are illegal, which is "common sense" but pregnancies still happen out of these actions. Murder is against the law, but people still commit that on others, whether that is a fetus or fully grown adult.

Same can be said for firearms where there is criminal use, abuse, and negligent discharges.

Common sense can not be granted by a law.
