Good point about the infringement. Let`s put the gun vending machines in the school cafeterias. There was infringement before the ink dried on the Constitution dumb dumb.From the article disclaimer: most can agree that they should not be granted access to firearms
What part of shall not be infringed is not understood? I guess we can't all agree. This/these writers don't seem to get the fact, that grants and privileges can be rescinded- rights can only be restricted or ignored. They don't have the intellect to see where the problems lie- they're cherry picking and using a bit of hyperbole, to wit: Last year, we witnessed an uptick in mass shootings that left no one untouched.
I beg to differ-
A band aid on a severed artery doesn't stop the bleeding, it just slows it down. The artery that is severed, in this country, is a lack of understanding (comprehension) of what Liberty is and what it entails- Liberty is essential to life. Laws, by definition restrict some and let others go- the others are usually the worst offenders of society, but, the enFORCEment bureaus are so busy making sure Joe Average gets cited for causing no harm they don't have the resources to stop anything-
When Liberty is restricted, officially, it becomes merely a word used to taunt others with- those who speak out about Liberty are labeled extremist- SMH- those who speak out for restricting Liberty get elected to do just that- or they riot and burn down stuff- they actually cause harm- and are ignored- why? Answer: IMproper Public Education, for several generations now. But, by god (one of many, take your choice while you stll have the Liberty to do so), writers are produced, by the dozens, or 100's or 1000's who feel they have all the answers- to questions the improperly educated ask- they and their minions cry "we have to do something"- then bitch when the something done isn't to their liking or severe enough for placating their irrational thought process, which seems to be; it's okay to restrict Liberty as long as it's a restriction I approve of- when it goes the other way, they forget they demanded something be done officially last time to restrict Liberty-
This time we're in goes way beyond guns- it's human psyche being easily manipulated by control freaks- and it won't stop with taking guns, or restricting guns, or labeling someone you don't approve of as extremist because you're told by writers (and talking heads) who head the classes of improperly educated.
