The phrase "we'll-regulated militia" and "the right of THE PEOPLE" are two different categories of individuals. The Supreme Court points this out repeatedly.
A tendency that government has been actively working to destroy for the last few generations. To the anger and frustration of quite a few people who think that freedom is important, or even vital.
Could that have anything to do with it?
Yes and a gun culture. Guns have always been a part of our culture.
Good god, don't you think they could at least have it just a teensy bit more difficult to get hold of high powered military grade weapons that don't give anyone even a teensy chance?
There are....it's called a background check. If you have nothing in your past to suggest that you are a threat to the public, then there's no reason you shouldn't be able to get your hands on a high powered, non-automatic weapon.
May the anti-gun advocates and legislators who took away the right of school administrators and teachers to defend their students with guns, burn twice as long in hell, including the shooter.
I don't wish hell on anyone, but I agree that staff should be able to defend themselves and the children in their keep. These nutjobs are attacking in "gun free" zones because they know they will be unopposed.
I can admit that I am not too clear as to what classifies an automatic vs semi automatic, but whatever can shoot off a reported 100 rounds without reloading does not need to be in the hands of a civilian, period.
Some insane person just shot 18 kindergartners and 9 adults in a school in Connecticut.
In fact, NOTHING can prevent a mostly-OK-looking guy from secretly getting a weapons (gun or knife or car or etc.) and going someplace and suddenly killing a bunch of people.
NOTHING.
Except a draconian police state that watches, checks, interrogates, regulates, and controls EVERYBODY. Is that what we should put in place?
YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM.
It's hyperbole like this that stalls intelligent and rational discussion about gun control. The sooner America gets people like you out of the narrative the quicker we can find a solution.
Hey people, can we at least wait a day to jump on the politicizing bandwagon.
Reports are that around 30 innocent people, mostly children, were senselessly killed today. Make sure you hug your kid when they get home from school today.
I'm not a cumbaya guy, but its pretty clear that people in our country need a lot more love and a lot less hate and vitriol.
There are....it's called a background check. If you have nothing in your past to suggest that you are a threat to the public, then there's no reason you shouldn't be able to get your hands on a high powered, non-automatic weapon.
If I were to ask about accountability to gun ownership of person(s) involved in the latest shooting, what will be your response?
It disgusts me that people are switching focus from the animal that did this to a tool used by 100s of millions on the planet.
In China today, another nut case stabbed twenty school children with a knife.
