How do we balance our rights under the Second Amendment with the safety of our public? If Columbine was felt as an earthquake and endures as an emblem of national calamity, the subsequent mass shootings have become less and less surprising. Once the killing of children and innocent, peaceful people is bearable, it becomes incongruous with the Christian notion of love and compassion. It is natural to want to do something to prevent another Sandy Hook, Sutherland Springs or Virginia Tech. Working on finding ways to prevent such tragedies rather than removing rights should be the path to follow. And that could be pursued and accomplished through those safety rules we set in place to prevent us and others from harm. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Let us contemplate our forefathers, and posterity, and resolve to maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance. Let us remember that `if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom.' It is a very serious consideration...that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event." --Samuel Adams, speech in Boston, 1771 |
