This is a perfect example of "The Sky is Falling" mentality of many in my party that I find comical. How exactly is the government trying to ban owning a gun? The 2nd Amendment (Bearing Arms) guarantees no right to keep and bear a firearm that does not have some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia. "A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed". Funny how the gun lobby loves to quote the second half of the sentence, but NEVER the first. Well Regulated Militia. Regulated by the Government. What part of that do they not Get? Do you think convicted felons should be able to own guns? If you don't, then your entire argument goes right out the window, because that's Regulation by the government. Assault rifles that are easily converted to full auto? Think just anybody should be able to buy one? Ask the families of the 3 dead cops in Pittsburgh. I had a GAU-5A sub-machine gun, but I was a member of the USAF Combat Control Team when I did. How does Goober owning an AK47 fall into the "well regulated militia" scenario? Tell me exactly how the feds are trying to stop you from owning a rifle, handgun or shotgun. Not some BS "beating around the bush" drivel. Please tell me precisely, so I can be outraged too. Tracking ammunition is a great idea. I want law enforcement to be able to track down the bad-guys by whatever means are available. If you're not one of the bad-guys, then you have nothing to be concerned about. I don't care if the feds know I have thousands of .357 and 30.06 jacketed hollowpoints and 12ga shotgun shells. Mark |
