Do we really want shootouts in public places? Even well-trained law-enforcement professionals miss far more often than they hit their targets, injuring or killing bystanders. Think of what would happen if students whipped out guns in classrooms, or viewers in darkened theaters, or shoppers in a mall.
Is there any reasonable justification for military-style weapons in the hands of the public? Handguns or rifles for hunting or target shooting, maybe, but automatic or semiautomatic weapons? |

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
