Yesterday I posted a comment online in support of this letter to the editor...
http://www.dailycamera.com/letters/ci_22177062/andrew-j-oconnor-time-repeal-second-amendmentIt's headline is "It's Time to Repeal the Second Amendment"
And it is.
I could go on and on about how the 2nd amendment doesn't--or shouldn't--make it legal for every single person in every single state to own as many guns and as much ammunition as they can get their hands on! And about how a "well regulated militia", even if it was ever a valid reason to make guns legal, is no more applicable to our world than are wooden butter churns or small pox vaccinations. And how no one has EVER thwarted a nut intent upon mowing down as many children as possible by using a legally obtained, legally concealed gun of his/her own to shoot the shooter before he completes his grisly task. Or how "this isn't the time to discuss it".
This is the PERFECT goddamn time to discuss it!
