Once more, each one of you has defended the fact you cannot legislate morality.All the laws about gun ownership on the books cannot be enforced.The problem is us.Are we going to to become like al qaida and spout the excuse that god is telling us to murder infidels? Are we going to strip Constitutional rights because a minority of people commit heinous crimes for their amusement?You don't" throw the baby out with the bath water".
Too often we become hysterical over random acts of violance.Are we going to hang all teenagers before they can steal a gun from their parents and kill somebody, then blow their own brains out?These things are unpredictable, and have nothing to do with a majority of us.It's heartbreaking,but that's sometimes our world.
There is a huge problem with loop holes in gun laws,gun dealers that skirt background checks, and the ability to buy guns at garage sales,gun shows,the black market,and through friends. Anyone can obtain a gun if they really want one,laws or no laws. Laws protect law abiding citizens,not criminals.
Guns are here to stay.Get over it.It's like arguing over which god is god,or banning abortions.Neither is going away. The biggest people killer right now is HIV/AIDS, and the flu! People need to wash their hands,stay home and out of groups when sick,and stop having sex when they have an STD.Those to me are more of a threat than gun ownership.Driving while drunk kills more people than guns.Prayer doesn't solve any problems.We are the only ones that can solve our problems by controlling our own behavior.Our "free" society will not stay free,I fear,if we do not learn to take control of our personal issues,families,and conduct.
