Over the years, the Constitution has in fact been amended 17 times since the original 10 known as the Bill of Rights. This includes the 18th for Prohibition and the 21st for the repeal of Prohibition. Now is the time to repeal another amendment.
Our Founding Fathers never envisioned the progress in increasing the destructive power of firearms. They also never envisioned the use of these firearms to slaughter innocent citizens either individually or via our all too familiar mass shootings. After every tragic shooting incident, NRA leaders and some members hide behind the Second Amendment as part of a laundry list of predictable excuses for doing nothing to prevent the next tragedy. |

Another liberal that wants to uninvent gun powder.
The criminals and hoodlums will always have guns. Gun control laws only disarm the law abiding.
I for one am too old to defend myself against a young violent criminal without a gun.
Be careful what you wish for. |

| don't forget that little 'freedom of the press' thing either. People pop off and say things that piss other people off and 'hurt' their feeling, or don't get all of the facts, and if they do, present them in a matter to sway people to their way of thinking. (well dud). |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
