I'm a responsible driver. I support legislation to help prevent irresponsible people from getting behind the wheel. This means preventing DUIs, reckless driving, or unsafe cars. What's my point?

This: Responsible gun ownership requires supporting legislation to help prevent irresponsible people from having easy access to firearms. If you're not willing to ensure that happens, you're not a responsible gun owner, & you are part of the problem of epidemic gun violence in America.

@QasimRashid Your support of good sense gun control legislation hits a snag with right-wing nuts when you compare it to rules concerning cars. They will tell you that driving is a privilege while the right to bear arms is a right enshrined in the Constitution.

@SharonGibson3 a right to access something doesn’t confer an unlimited right of access without consequence. We have a right to free speech but you can’t tell fire in a crowded theater or verbally threaten to kill someone.

@QasimRashid @SharonGibson3 I agree with you about guns but the fire in theater example doesn’t work

It’s Time to Stop Using the ‘Fire in a Crowded Theater’ Quote

Oliver Wendell Holmes made the analogy during a controversial Supreme Court case that was overturned more than 40 years ago.
