Something’s missing here – and I believe it’s a healthy dose of common sense. Death by gunshot is not a pretty thing; it’s absolutely sickening. It makes little difference if the victim is a young child gunned down by a school-house shooter or a bank robber stopped in their tracks by an officer of the law. Both create a bloody mess and, most importantly, claim or maim a human life.
Traditionally, America has granted a license to use firearms against fellow humans exclusively to its law enforcement officers and members of the military. At that, there are rules and regulations that must be followed. Gun-slinging lawmen like Wyatt Earp are no longer tolerated by society. |

"...what they considered an unfair burden on gun owners."
'Unfair burden?' No, an unconstitutional infringement. Please refer to the word "right" in the phrase, "the right of the people." Right, not privilege. Privileges can be subjected to interest-balancing and regulation; rights cannot. There is no 'debate' about the meanings of these words - it is etymological fact.
"Simply holster up and be on the lookout for bad guys to gun down." + "Don’t mistake me for an anti-gun advocate." = It would hardly be a mistake.
"Even Tombstone, Ariz., banned carrying firearms inside the city limits."
...which was the direct cause of the OK Corral gunfight.
Uh, Mr. Tackett.....? If you find yourself in a deep hole, quit digging. |

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
