Had enough of the shootings yet?

AR-15 again. The 2nd Amendment was meant for "organized" state militias i.e. what is now National Guard - it is in Federalist Papers. Look it up, rednecks. Stupid self-involved twats like Scalia made it a law, so now the country is reaping what they've sawn.

You are absolutely right about the 2nd amendment, but I have no problem with it being extended to include those who want to own guns for hunting or sport target shooting. I do personally think that people should not be allowed to own hand guns and especially military style weapons...there is absolutely no need for them. I firmly believe in the waiting periods, background checks, and strict(er) laws and penalties. As for the guns I think people should be allowed to own, I think the number of them should be limited. I do not believe that banning them altogether is the answer (that's one thing the NRA said right...when guns are out lawed, only outlaws will have guns).There is a huge under ground and black market for guns already, and though I'm not advocating owning guns for protection (that rarely works), I do believe the banning of guns would only make that problem bigger and the "bad guys" would take over. That's my take on it and that's the last post from me on the subject.

@humongous It as my pleasure. I thought your reply made the most sense of any I'd read so far. I myself get tired of all the useless and senseless rhetoric.

@indyjoe the actual data on that indicates states with concealed carry /open carry laws have less crime . People who carry legally are shooting bad guys in self defense... to them your statement that “carrying a weapon for self defense doesn’t help” couldn’t be more wrong .

Banning hand guns is an infringement of the 2A. All the limousine liberals in Hollywood have armed security . Armed with hand guns , and they make movies depicting them using hand guns to kill others . It’s that kind of hypocrisy that draws the ire of voters .

And you want stricter gun laws ? Why not enforce the ones already written ? And then there is Chicago . The most strict gun laws in the country exist there ... and the place is a war zone sh*t hole with weekly body counts so high the media refuses to report it ... but they go crazy over a school shooting ?
