A rational solution would be to recognize a citizen's right to keep and bear arms and balance it with the part of the Declaration of Independence that recognizes the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Having a right to bear arms has to be measured against the rights of those who worry about their happiness. Many of us are so concerned about all the guns in America that it is very difficult to be happy.
Ed.: Now the antis are inventing a right to be happy! |

The Declaration of Independence is not the Constitution.
The Constitution trumps the Declaration of Independence every time. |

You're entitled to PURSUE happiness.
If you think violating MY rights will make you happy, you aren't entitled to have that happiness granted to you. |

Rights don'tget "balanced."
Besides which, the RKBA is more often a positive benefit. Depriving us of them would result in more violence and crime.
How do you "balance" that against life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?
This is absurd poppy cocktail masquerading as reasoned thinking.
It ought to be quashed where ever found! |

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]. |
