Actually you can. It's called Natural Selection. Unfortunately the libs seem determined to wrap the human race in as much bubble wrap as possible.

I have recently seen this kind of sentiment expressed by a libertarian and one of the economists responsible for Reagan's supply side economics. These are not dumb people but they are totally uninformed about guns and I believe essentially scared of them.
I have the same experience with those I know that are not pro gun. They just have no experience with firearms and are genuinely afraid. Honestly I think several of them are afraid of hurting themselves or others around them. They all kept talking about how people just snap! I don't think they trust themselves.

For some reason also a lot of liberal gun owners own just one specific type of gun. I know three grown men who are for the most part anti hand gun, semi auto center fire rifle etc. They all own Ruger 10/22s. Strange but true.

The cesarean argument reminds me of the President's comments to peaceably assemble. It's unbelievable how even intelligent, supposedly learned people do this -- unless they know it's a rhetorical sham they're perpetrating on the rest of the populous: Take one word which you know how to define and run with it. Natural born citizen does not mean a citizen of natural birth.
Similarly, the Constitution protects the right to peaceably assemble, not the right to have complete peace while you assemble! If that were the case, protests would banned, lest we disturb those assembled and being picketed. Our forefathers had the insight to spell out our innate negative (freedom-from) rights, not pontificate on what false positive (privilege-granting) rights the government could bestow. We have laws establishing police forces and the like to help ensure our security, but if somehow our safety-net fails we don't cry that the government has violated our rights -- it's the criminals. (Okay, maybe some wrongly do think it's the government.)
I must have been raised in a cave, thinking the basics of civics were required teaching in all schools. It is a life free from coercion that is necessary for our G-d given rights to flourish, not a life sustained by entitlements.

Hey now, I'm a grown man and own a 10/22

...Okay, it's not my only firearm.
