I hear what you're saying... "Guns don't kill people....People kill people!" But think for a moment, if the volume of guns and easy access to them were reduced there would be fewer people killed by them. Guns are OK in the hands of responsible, legitimate sportsmen....but no right thinking individual would believe for an instant that cheap Saturday night specials, high powered fully automatic weapons or overpowered .457 magnum pistols rightfully belong in the hands of everyone.
Guns serve only one purpose... KILLING! For most Americans' the need to hunt for food has long past. We've also long past the day when owning a gun should be a right as proven by the number of gun murders, woundings and intimidations nationwide. All guns should be fully registered and stiff penalties handed out to violators. Anyone who's lost a son or daughter to gun violence will likely agree.
If that makes be a liberal.....so be it.
David,
I am all for punishing someone who commits a crime with a gun. I do beleive, however, that I have the right to own a gun, and to use it for self-defense.
I know someone who did lose a son to gun violence. The son broke into an old ladies home at night to rob her. He threatened her with a gun and she shot him. That is what is called self-defense. That is very different than going to a mall or a school and shooting people.
Criminals do not obey laws. They will still have guns. I would like to have one as well.
Our Consitution spells it out pretty clearly. It is a right, not a past right.
Just musing here about the comment above, do you wonder about the killing of people that was done with a gun... How many of THOSE guns were legally obtained and licensed?
It's like cars, you don't take away the right to drive of responsible citizens because SOME CITIZENS have deadly accidents, .. cars kill many Americans every year in every state.
I would gladly register my guns and I keep them secureed so that children and criminals do not get ahold of them. The proliferation of leathal weapons in the hands of criminals and unstable people along with accidental deaths of children can be controlled in a sensible way. The NRA is a business association lobbying for gun manufacturers. Let them deal with some safety regulations for all of our benefit.
I wonder what other parts of our Bill of Rights some people think have expired.
Thanks for the heads-up Kevin.
Kevin ~ You forgot one more thing. Buy a gun and make a liberal mad. I will do both, buy a gun and join the NRA.
