Something’s missing here – and I believe it’s a healthy dose of common sense. Death by gunshot is not a pretty thing; it’s absolutely sickening. It makes little difference if the victim is a young child gunned down by a school-house shooter or a bank robber stopped in their tracks by an officer of the law. Both create a bloody mess and, most importantly, claim or maim a human life.
Traditionally, America has granted a license to use firearms against fellow humans exclusively to its law enforcement officers and members of the military. At that, there are rules and regulations that must be followed. Gun-slinging lawmen like Wyatt Earp are no longer tolerated by society. |

"...what they considered an unfair burden on gun owners."
'Unfair burden?' No, an unconstitutional infringement. Please refer to the word "right" in the phrase, "the right of the people." Right, not privilege. Privileges can be subjected to interest-balancing and regulation; rights cannot. There is no 'debate' about the meanings of these words - it is etymological fact.
"Simply holster up and be on the lookout for bad guys to gun down." + "Don’t mistake me for an anti-gun advocate." = It would hardly be a mistake.
"Even Tombstone, Ariz., banned carrying firearms inside the city limits."
...which was the direct cause of the OK Corral gunfight.
Uh, Mr. Tackett.....? If you find yourself in a deep hole, quit digging. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
