The easiest right to infringe is a right you don't personally use.
As an atheist, I would not mind if the First Amendment right to freedom of religion were to be repealed. Might solve some problems.
However, as an American, I will fight to maintain the citizen's right to freedom of religion as I recognize that my personal feelings/opinions/beliefs should not dictate what others are allowed to do. I also recognize that despite some extremists, religion is positive influence on our society.
I wish the anti-gun people would have the same thought process.
In any case if safety and "think of the children" is truly the motivation, guns are low on the list of stuff that needs fixin' in this country.
So, sure, put the risks to our citizens in order of most occurrences and start working on fixing that list. When we fix the other stuff, then perhaps we can start talking about guns.
But when guns are moved to the top of the list, logic is simply not the primary motivator. Emotions and politics are.
A right should not be infringed based on emotions or politics.
