If you believe that America should accept regular mass killings as a price of the Second Amendment, turn the page or swipe on.
But if you believe that firearm violence shames this country and that our democracy could prevent needless tragedies and respect the Constitution, hear me out on this Independence Day.
Like many South Florida journalists of a certain age, I knew Rob Hiaasen. He and four colleagues at The Annapolis (Md.) Capital Gazette were murdered last week. |

"broader approach" indeed.
You mean, like getting off your asinine refusal to acknowledge that the most effective means to stop a gunman are having defenders' guns IMMEDIATELY PRESENT to neutralize the threat?
Like THAT?
No. Of COURSE not.
The Annapolis shooting went on for the (incredibly rapid) 60 seconds it took police to respond. In that time five people were killed and two more injured.
Yo. Dimwit. (1x7)+60=5 DEAD, 2 INJURED.
Or, put so simply even YOU can understand it, 2+2=4. |

First of all, the Constitution does not grant me any rights. It guarantees that the government will not infringe upon my God-given rights. So, ALL laws which in any way keep me from speaking, attending the church of my choice, peaceably assembling, or bearing the arms I chose are against the Constitution and therefore NULL and VOID!
Secondly, as shown by the examples of Chicago, Baltimore, and other democrat controlled cities, gun control does not work!
You forgot that the CDC DID study gun violence, and didn't like the results, so they hid the report.

Gun control is prior restraint. Would you accept me taking your computer because you might write something evil or because someone else wrote something evil? I don't accept that you violate MY rights because someone else might do something wrong.
So, Mr. Schultz, take your big government, socialist, and dictatorial policies elsewhere.

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
