I don't care about gun rights, I care about what is effective.

I don't care about gun rights, I care about what is effective.

I don't think the question said anything about gun rights.  If you're referencing my post above, I summed it up by saying no, I don't think gun control is effective at all.

Yes, it's just that I think the issue is buried under two separate issues: the effectiveness of gun control and, entirely distinct, the status of "gun rights".

Rights are not up for debate, regardless of what studies say.

I don't know, a lot of Republicans seem fairly cavalier with far more important rights. Healthcare, for one.

That's my point ... you are arguing from the POV that gun ownership is a right, by definition; but fail to see that other people have sufficiently different philosophies that the "right to gun ownership" is itself a distortion on the definition of the word "right". To pontificate on "the rights of gun ownership" with me (just like myself waxing about "right to healthcare" to you) is meaningless to someone in a different context, like somebody arguing for the right to have the sexiest waifu, or something.
