Keeping on the topic of scary. This one is up there. Today the Supreme Court began hearings regarding the recent ruling of a Federal Court to overturn the total ban on handguns in Washington D.C. that has been in effect for 31 years.
The 2nd Ammendment reads as follows:
The 2nd Ammendment reads as follows:
"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".
Our forefathers really left us with a good one here ladies. Let the games begin...
Our forefathers really left us with a good one here ladies. Let the games begin...
Two options:
#1- Every man, woman, and child has a right to bear arms for their own personal protection.
#2- The right to bear arms is strictly reserved for a militia in times of crisis.
My take on this issue should be more than obvious. I fully support an individual's right to bear arms utterly and completely. I do believe that background checks should be done for all firearm purchases, and that concealed handgun permits should have an entirely separate process. I believe that the average individual who is clinically sane and has not commited relevant crimes(shoplifting in highschool doesn't count) should be able to carry protection with them in all appropriate places. I support the fact that there are places that are not appropriate for gun use, but that does not includes a person's most common places of occupation. I do not support the free distribution of guns.
America has a history of guns. And that history has been passed down for generations apon generations. Fathers take their sons hunting. Grandfathers take their grandsons Trap Shooting. A child's, more specifically a male's developmental process is tightly linked to some of life's major lessons learned at a young age. These lessons and more can be aquired by spending a weekend in the woods, learning the sanctity of life, the means that are necessary to provide human sustenance, spending a unique time with a role model, and much much more. Simply firing a gun is an experience that you will not understand and appreciate until having done so. Taking an animal's life for a purpose lets a youngster feel how important life actually is. If this youngster never spends another day in the woods, and ends up in an unfortunate situation as an adult, they will have the value of life deeply instilled in them before they are ever tempted to use a gun in a destructive manner. Some may argue that our most relevant history regarding guns is the tragedies that they have caused. I will offer this: It is not the guns that have caused these tragedies, but the people who distribute them illegally and the people who use the ill-intentioned. Again, I support full regulation of gun distribution.
Guns can also help prevent many of the tragedies that they cause. There is a multitude research and evidence that supports the fact that if more people were allowed to protect themselves and others with handguns, that many of the tragedies we have recently seen could have been quickly and easily prevented. Some of you may argue that the right to carry a concealed handgun in a responsible manner is still uncessary and that I should provide you the evidence. I urge you to research on your own, and you will find proof. Some of you will undoubtedly offer complete resistance and I offer absolutely no condolences. It has become disturbingly obvious that we as humans really have no idea what that person next to each of us every day is actually thinking/capable of doing. And mind you, if there was a total ban on guns, that crazy fuck sitting across from you is sure as hell not going to walk in to the local police station and turn in his 'hot piece', nor is his distributor. You're the one who is screwed in the end, and I am not willing to take that risk. If you so much as suggest that I might have slightly mis-stepped, I assure you, and offer you a decent amount of my time that will be guaranteed to leave you with no other opinion.
