Risk Factor-Based 'Rights'

"College students are already known to disproportionately engage in high[-]risk behaviors such as binge drinking and to struggle with mental health issues including thoughts of suicide,” the representatives write. “Increasing students’ access to guns only increases the likelihood that volatile situations on campus will end in tragedy.” [More]

So if the criteria for denying RKBA is disproportionate high risk behavior. alcohol abuse, mental health issues and suicide, guess which major "progressive" constituency cannot be trusted with guns.

Go on, guess.

And do I then dare point out this and this and this and this?

No, I didn't think so.

God forbid we should have equal treatment under the law in this country.

God forbid we should treat human rights as belonging to individuals, as opposed to privileges to be dispensed or withheld based on where those individuals fall within the collective.

Unless, I suppose, you happen to be in the right group.
