That's the part which makes this a much harder pill to swallow. You guys have a
constitutional right to own a firearm. I couldn't have been left at
"the right to self defense" or
"the right to self preservation"
Everybody has the right to own a firearm for whatever purpose they subscribe i.e. self defense, recreation or survival. So from the lowliest of gun-users to professionals all are allowed to own guns. Never-mind if you didn't exactly
need a gun for your particular application, but you know, since you have the right to own guns..... might as well
Then you wonder why people on the forums keep bringing up these mass shootouts from a single protagonist. Of course its a one off, its not a debatable statistic, the media exaggerates the story and politicians use the opportunity for power plays.
But get this.
That mass shooter had the right to own their firearm whatever purpose they saw fit. Don't matter if they were mentally unsound from the get-go or if they just snapped; their gun, their right to own it, their right to use it in their best interest.
So my point: Guns, I don't like 'em, but for America its a necessary evil. Just make sure government has the infrastructure in place to regulate its use before we start waving around constitution clauses. :beach:
Same could be said about marijuana :run:
