“It’s already in the law. The problem is they’re misconstruing the law. So we’re changing the words so their perfidy is made very clear,” Heller said. […]

Perfidy? Seriously?

This isn’t about individual rights, Heller said, but the role of government.

Heller said the purpose of government as defined by Arizona’s Constitution is to protect people’s rights, not destroy firearms. […]

So….um…. does not compute. People shouldn’t have the option to voluntarily turn in their firearms knowing they’ll be destroyed? It’s not about their individual rights, it’s about government not having the right to destroy firearms because…

I can’t seem to twist my brain around the logic of this. Let me try again: If people are tuning in their firearms knowing they’ll be destroyed, it’s probably safe to assume it’s because they don’t want them and feel good knowing they can’t end up back on the street. But according to this group that is a bad thing and the government should forbid itself the power to destroy those firearms because…? Why? Do the firearms have the right not to be destroyed? Or is it, “Because SHUT UP, that’s why.” I’m at a total loss here…
