Last Tuesday, a 66-year-old man from Illinois armed with a semi-automatic assault rifle showed up at a baseball field in Virginia to kill GOP lawmakers and others who were practicing for their annual baseball game. The only police personnel that were at the location were there to provide security for the Republican Whip Rep. Steven Scalise of Louisiana. If they had not been there, there would have been a lot more people shot or killed, according to those who were involved.

What this person (and all of the non-2A-advocates) failes to understand is, that no matter what heinous criminal act occurs, it doesn't change the constitutional command, "shall not be infringed", one whit.
The question, "Does gun ownership make us safer?" is one of policy, and as Justice Scalia wrote in Heller, "The ensrhinement of constitutional rights necessarily takes certain policy choices off the table."
Times change, but principles don't. |
