It's premature to discuss such draconian steps as life in prison for the first offense of using a gun to commit a crime.He's 100% opposite what I believe, fundamentally. His first question is something done is for the common good. My question is, if done, does that violate anyone. If no one is harmed, and that person can sustain it, then more power too them.
Where I differ with a capitalist libertarian is they think if they can buy it, even if they have no use for it, but some one else does need it. If your only reason is to be a dick because you can, that's wrong. But that's how fucked in the head Ayn Rand cultists like Paul Ryan are.
Life is a risk. I don't agree with Moore that because something has the potential for abuse, we ban it.
Like his stance in gun control.
I agree there's no need for fully automatic, but as fast as you can pull the trigger is ok. You shouldn't be labeled pre-crime. Only those who break laws for guns should get punished. Because of the awesome power for potential abuse guns can do, any actual crime involving a gun should have a mandatory life sentence with no chance of parole. The person should also be forced to do hard physical labor in jail for the rest of their life too.
That might seem harsh, but if you know that's what happens, you will figure out another way to do crimes if you're so inclined. To engrain it into their skull they also in full orange outfit go to elementary to high school lecture and show a video of their life for violating America's trust of using a gun for exploiting their felloe human beings.
Those are just a few things I don't like Moore over. Which doesn't mean I don't agree with many of the same outcomea he's also against. I just don't want to be condidered scum because of potential, and if treated with respect I'll gladly give respect back.
I give everyone respect until I find out you want to subjugate against me because you fear what I might do. Some things require more proof, like you can't automatically drive a car without taking a test showing your fitness. But at the same time banning a Dodge Demon because some asshole with a few screws loose drives it into people, doesn't mean you ban it for all.
How about if we study the problem first?
