> Seriously what will it take? Simple... a constitutional amendment. There are too many very vocal, law abiding citizens carrying firearms who would rather die defending that right than give up their guns for one to be passed any time in the near future. I know a LOT of people who would stake the claim that any attempt to repeal the 2nd amendment is a move by government to control the population and take away their freedom, will leave them defenseless against criminals/terrorists/boogeyman/etc and would not give up their guns without a fight (likely involving said guns).
I get the argument and the stats that show gun control reduces gun-related homicides. I don't dispute it. I also wouldn't dispute that outlawing cars would reduce car-related deaths. There are far more car-related deaths than there are gun-related deaths but I don't see anyone clamoring to outlaw driving (I could see that argument coming 40-50 years from now when self-driving cars with a near-perfect safety record are the norm rather than the exception). Having said that, I do agree with tighter controls on the types of guns that are permitted and their distribution (background checks, waiting periods, stricter laws on the proper storage of firearms and ammunition, etc.). -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:362071 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
