Nobody is trying to totally eliminate it. Someone
has lied to you.
And don't forget something. There is more than
one Constitutional amendment. Sometimes you
have to balance them. For example, people have
a right to life and the pursuit of happiness that
is God given, and we have a right to assemble
peacefully. If some nut walks into the movietheater
and instead of yelling Fire! starts shooting us,
our fundamental rights have been violated. Some of
us would like gun rights folks to think about their
responsibility for those deaths, if they fight for
no restrictions on who can get a gun and what kind
of gun they can get.
No one has a right to enable crime, and that is
what is happening currently. Gun rights folks say
there's no point in passing such laws because
criminals won't keep the law anyway, but if you
sell a gun to a criminal, you are responsible.
There is no escape, not before man or God. And
that's why the Supreme Court said states do have
a right to restrict the right to bear arms.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
