I believe he said he would give up his guns, not yours or the second amendment. That is a personal sacrifice and a personal choice.
Question for the audience. If everybody had access to Instant Gun Check system, and we had a better handle on the mental health of an individual, would you use it for FTF transactions? Ignore the logistics and assume the system could handle it. No restrictions, just a way to check for past criminal history, etc.
Not picking sides or trying to start an argument, just curious.
You sir, show your character. I would give up ALL my firearms to bring even one of these children back. In fact, I would gladly give my life to bring one of them back.
He said what he said in direct response (and insult) to someone else stating that he would not give up the right without any reference to specific individual weapons.
You are right that the two are entirely different concepts, but again, that statement was issued as an argument against the person who would not give up the right. I can't help the fact that he put a bend in his response away from the position against which he was arguing, specifically excoriating another member for unwillingness to give up the right.
I believe "my" in the above post to be possessive in the singular sense. I did not read his response with any bend or reference to give up his 2nd amendment rights. I took this statement above as a factual personal wish and a willingness to make a personal sacrifice.
Oh lordy
"Well maybe its okay to ban ASSAULT WEAPONS if we get to keep our fudd guns".
Give me a break, where the hell does the 2nd amendment say ANYTHING about what "type" of firearm is okay to own?
Actually, it doesn't say anything about firearms, period, let alone type. Odd how many people don't notice that. "Firearms" is only one subset of the much broader category of "arms".
Great now we can fight among ourselves and the gun grabbers are smiling. Divide and conquer. Simple concept.
Normally I agree with what you type here on INGO, but this post has me scratching my head. Maybe I am not understanding you here, but I agree with the post that you are quoting. The 2A doesn't say anything about what type of arms we have the right to bear. Historically (even back when it was written) the intent of the 2A has implied firearms and this has been upheld in the supreme court several times.
Also this... It's an older video that he reposted after this tragedy. It's a well worded, concise, and thought out response about gun free zones.

The big problem in my opinion is lack of morality which comes from God. this nut must have had ethics which is dreamed up by communistic atheists
