While violence is bad,
gun control is worse. When something is illegal, it does not disappear, it goes underground. I do not know why
liberals should have such a difficult time relating to this concept. If someone is bold enough to risk their life to commit murder, it is probably safe to say that they aren't afraid to
break some silly gun law. This is dangerous in that it transfers weapons from the
good citizens to the criminals. "Banning"
AK-47s doesn't do a damn thing - except make YOU more vulnerable.
Let's not forget that the Constitution gives American citizens the right to bear arms. While some restrictions
may not necessarily be unconstitutional, the notion that the Right to Bear Arms is a group right is absurd at best. What, only the
police can have guns? The founding fathers are rolling over in their graves.
It's a slippery slope to curtail constitutional rights or to outright "declare" one amendment "outdated" or a "relic." How would you feel if President Bush all of a sudden said the First Amendment was incompatible with the War on Terror? After all, the Founding Fathers
