If you look into the reasons for the 2nd amendment which was almost the 1st , I think you would have a better understanding of it. If you go back and read the writing of Thomas Jefferson the creator of the Bill of Right and the U.S. Constitution with a little help from Virginia Bill of Rights I believe.
Gene if you want the Gov telling you what to do with your children that’s fine as long as it is not in the U.S. Gov messes up to much as it is they don’t need to messing up the children. We can blame guns all you want but they don’t kill people kill and I rather that they use gun than making bombs or chemical weapons since less people will be hurt. People will always kill people and that is a fact, but there are many more destructive ways that will be utilized if you could every take away all the guns which will never happen. In this country alone 1000s of people defend the property every day you will not hear about it since the media is anti gun you will only here about the negatives. We would not need more jails in the country if they ran them like Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Arpaio
Lou yes with all the new laws I am in some since becoming a criminal. I have purchased items legally that have become illegal. The only reason they are still legal for me is because of my work. But in all fifty states you need a valid State issued ID and must go a background check before you can pick up your gun at the store. There are some loop holes in it but not many, the problem is that the state police are not checking the mental back grounds in some of the applicant referring to the Virginia incident this yr or last. |
Hi Clockwork.
So, as a policeman, who I presume has seen plenty of gun crime, how would you start to stop it?
