... "Any discussion of limiting access to firearms always triggers an angry recoil by groups and individuals who cite the Second Amendment as sacrosanct."
"Until Congress and state legislators engage in serious discussion of reducing gun violence, let us consider a 28th amendment to the Constitution: 'The right of Americans to go about their lives in peace without fear of victimization by gun violence shall not be abridged.'" ...

Submitter's Note: Starting a civil war is probably not the best way to reduce "gun violence". |

The author of this piece seems to opine that governments should "...declare gun-free zones, such as parks, malls and other public spaces."
He seems to forget that governments have already declared murder, burglary, robbery, assault, and a variety of other acts to be prohibited (illegal) and yet they occur with unsurprising regularity.
Another dolt who believes the impossible, that merely issuing more laws will somehow stop evil people from doing evil things.
I'll bet he's against long (life without parole) prison sentences and the death penalty, which are proven to reduce repeat offenses by criminals. |

No means to place this where it belongs (no comments section), so I'll put it HERE.
Take yer amendment and stick it up yer @$$.
"The right there specified is that of 'bearing arms for a lawful purpose.' This is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence." - U S v. CRUIKSHANK, 92 U.S. 542 (1875) 92 U.S. 542

| These morons who advocate repealing the 2nd amendment haven't given any serious logical thought to the long-term consequences. Disarming the populace really worked well in England and Australia(sarcasm). And look at Chicago with the toughest gun control laws in the US, and the highest murder rate. First of all we need real professional leadership in Washington DC instead of a muslim anti-American who does nothing to help the country, instead he foments hate, racism, and discontent. |

I would suggest that the writer move to formally Great Britain. Then he only needs to worry about violent daytime robberies and punks with knives that can kill you just as dead.
Remember that if guns were eliminated by some magic, then bats and knifes would become the apex weapons. I for one am past my prime and would not fare well in a close combat fight. I need a gun for my protection.
Evil will flourish with or without guns. This individual should consider the reality of the current situation instead of wishing for something that can't work. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
