If you believe that America should accept regular mass killings as a price of the Second Amendment, turn the page or swipe on.
But if you believe that firearm violence shames this country and that our democracy could prevent needless tragedies and respect the Constitution, hear me out on this Independence Day.
Like many South Florida journalists of a certain age, I knew Rob Hiaasen. He and four colleagues at The Annapolis (Md.) Capital Gazette were murdered last week. |

"broader approach" indeed.
You mean, like getting off your asinine refusal to acknowledge that the most effective means to stop a gunman are having defenders' guns IMMEDIATELY PRESENT to neutralize the threat?
Like THAT?
No. Of COURSE not.
The Annapolis shooting went on for the (incredibly rapid) 60 seconds it took police to respond. In that time five people were killed and two more injured.
Yo. Dimwit. (1x7)+60=5 DEAD, 2 INJURED.
Or, put so simply even YOU can understand it, 2+2=4. |

First of all, the Constitution does not grant me any rights. It guarantees that the government will not infringe upon my God-given rights. So, ALL laws which in any way keep me from speaking, attending the church of my choice, peaceably assembling, or bearing the arms I chose are against the Constitution and therefore NULL and VOID!
Secondly, as shown by the examples of Chicago, Baltimore, and other democrat controlled cities, gun control does not work!
You forgot that the CDC DID study gun violence, and didn't like the results, so they hid the report.

Gun control is prior restraint. Would you accept me taking your computer because you might write something evil or because someone else wrote something evil? I don't accept that you violate MY rights because someone else might do something wrong.
So, Mr. Schultz, take your big government, socialist, and dictatorial policies elsewhere.

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
