At the time of the attack in Las Vegas, Republicans in Congress were getting ready to pass a bill legalizing the purchase of gun silencers. Really! In addition, Collins has introduced a bill that would in effect repeal the SAFE Act and prevent the possibility of a similar law being enacted in any other state. Each of these legislative actions is being proposed in the name of Americans’ right to self-defense under the aegis of the Second Amendment. Have Collins and Reed lost any semblance of sanity? |

It is always the gun control liberals that demand common sense.
If they actually used some common sense they would have to admit:
1. Gun control laws don't work. They only restrict the rights of law abiding citizens. Criminals don't obey laws and will get guns regardless of any laws.
2. In a world without guns, young thugs would run rampant, assaults and robberies would spike out of control, and law abiding citizens (especially us seniors) would be in fear of our lives. The costs for law enforcement would double with little effect on crime. |

| Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any colour or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction. — St. George Tucker, in his edition of 'Blackstone's Commentaries,' 1:300 (1803). |
