... "Fifth, I do believe Dr. King would have strong words to say on the increasing gun violence in our nation. We now have the highest homicide rate in the developed world. ... We have lost some 10,000 Americans to gun violence just since the Newtown shootings ... that’s more Americans that we’ve lost in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars combined. But some of our elected officials are still more concerned with what the gun lobby wants than with what the vast majority of their constituents want. Without losing the Second Amendment right to bear arms, surely we could require background checks, make gun trafficking a federal crime and ban assault weapons. It is absurd for ordinary citizens to have as much or more firepower than police have." ... |

| Reverend, you are entitled to your own opinions. Not your own "facts" ! If "black lives matter" why are so many being taken by their own race ? More importantly why is the "black community" ignoring the fact ? I suspect Mr. King, no stranger to gun violence, would have some very harsh words for blacks these days. "Snitches get stitches", might be a major priority for him. |

TO REMEMBER |
| There are other things so clearly out of the power of Congress, that the bare recital of them is sufficient, I mean the "...rights of bearing arms for defence, or for killing game..." These things seem to have been inserted among their objections, merely to induce the ignorant to believe that Congress would have a power over such objects and to infer from their being refused a place in the Constitution, their intention to exercise that power to the oppression of the people. —ALEXANDER WHITE (1787) |
