Fortunately, we live in a country where idiots have the same rights as those who think are smarter than them.

I, for one, am glad we aren't going back to racist gating of citizenship privileges...behind literacy tests, or economic means

I wasn't suggesting idiots have different rights to anyone else, or in fact that I myself am not an idiot.

I, for one, am glad I live on a continent where mass shootings are a rare occurrence. One-off shootings too, and people accidentally hurting themselves with the things, for that matter.
