Common Sense Gun Laws

“Individuals on the consolidated terrorist watch list — including notorious terrorists such as Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri — attempted to purchase guns from licensed dealers,” Parsons and Sofer bemoan.
Really? We should be grateful such “common sense gun safety laws” are in place to render terrorists harmless.
David tackles Newsweek. I should also say a bit about “common sense gun laws.” I don’t believe in AGW, and I don’t believe in a great many things, one of which is common sense. Common sense means, at a very minimum, things commonly held.
There is no such thing. There is only world views and the logical pronouncements and necessities of the presuppositions in those world views. My world view is different than theirs, and so we hold nothing in common. And there is the clash of world views, and in the clash of world views, someone wins and someone loses.
Take a guess who I think that will be?

The quote is a lie. He was never in the U.S. so he could not have tried to purchase a gun from a licensed dealer.

Good point, Herschel. That “common sense” bullshit always bugs the crap outta me. For that matter, when I see something that actually OUGHT to be categorized as “common sense” it’s usually uncommon.
