This accurately portrays MY position.
I agree on every one of those points. The part Conservatives have an argument with is when anti-gun activists think that simply taking guns away from all the law-abiding citizens will somehow stop the criminals from doing their evil deeds. All the countries with the highest murder and crime rates do not let their citizens own guns. Yet the United States, which has by far the highest gun ownership in the World, has only an average murder rate compared to all other countries. Same goes for several other countries with high gun ownership. Norway, France, Canada, Austria, Iceland, Germany, Finland, Switzerland, and Australia are all in the top 20 countries of private gun ownership per capita, but have low murder and crime rates.

No anti gun activist that I know of has espoused taking away anyone's guns except from those who should not have them like crazy people!
I would like a citation from a reliable source that says otherwise.

I taught school for 32 years. I have been trained to use firearms. I have a license to carry and have never had to shoot anyone except in combat. I hope and pray that I never have to shoot anyone.
My job as a teacher was to teach, not take someone's life. Perhaps schools would be better served by having a police presence in the schools. Said police presence would be professionals who are trained to protect students and staff against violent attacks.
There is a problem. Mentally ill people are not permitted to own firearms. If one does, he/she is already a criminal and should be treated as such.
This is only my opinion.

Interesting how few 2nd Amendment Rights people commented on this.
I guess that means they agree.

Here's one for you 
Do you ever get tired of being a tool of the alt right Evangelicals? 80% of Evangelicals have been co opted by the alt right to make up the numbers for Bannon's movement. These poor folks would have no idea of their new de facto political status.

What is "alt right evangelical"? What is "Bannon's movement"?

That is a pretty broad statement reflecting either innocent naivety or blatant disregard of reality.

Like I said, unaware of the new Evangelical de facto political status. These are not new news stories, you have to take some responsibility. It's not all the good ship Trump.

I fail to see what Evangelical has to do with political opinions.
