I am not going to concern myself with the pragmatic implications of gun regulation given that there are so many weapons in circulation in the US at the present time. Nor am I going to talk about the data concerning gun violence. I will briefly mention that this should include accidental injuries and death, as well as suicide. The only other two things I will mention before my main piece are the banning of CDC research as a result of the Dickey Amendment back in 1996, and lobbying. |

Two things:
1) The CDC has only been prohibited from using research as political advocacy, nothing more.
2) The assertion that the right to keep and bear arms is endowed on the militia is a calculated, vicious lie. Groups don't have unalienable rights, people do, and the sentence clearly establishes that the people have a preexisting right to arms, and that the government shall not infringe it because an armed populace is essential to the existence of the militia.
Rarely have I read a more misguided treatise than yours.
Perhaps you shouldn't tipple so much.... |

TO REMEMBER |
| As I have stood in the crosshairs of those who target Second Amendment freedoms, I've realized that firearms are not the only issue. No, it's much, much bigger than that. I've come to understand that a cultural war is raging across our land, in which, with Orwellian fervor, certain acceptable thoughts and speech are mandated. — Charlton Heston |
