So the right to bear arms and the right of the government to regulate the sale of arms can coexist. And must.
What we need now are small, but meaningful, steps toward sensible gun safety laws, like a phase-in of required “smart guns.” These are guns which can be fired only by the owner, with his ID or fingerprints — an owner who who has passed all background checks.
It is long past time for rational action on gun laws in America. And starting small is OK. We can’t fix the evil in human hearts, but we need not empower it. |

That's right, one more step, one more attempt, to convince law abiding citizens that they must take responsibility for the actions of criminals... "One step at a time", so you won't notice that your rights are being dismantled ever so slightly, continually, and never ending.. Citizens must see that their elected officials are bound by the chains of the Constitution. Because if we don't, we'll all eventually see what "Their" agenda was really all about..."One Step at a Time"..

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
