"We stop being something to be proud of when we love our guns more than we love our children"

83. There is nothing that says that

it says NOTHING about it being the states responsibility. it says "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" THE PEOPLE, not the states. And the constitution is pretty specific when it wants to talk about peoples or states rights and responsibilities, so I am going to take that to mean exactly what it says.

On hand guns, I do not see our govenrment doing anything more imposing than BG checks and mag capacity limits for hand guns. Thats pretty much all you can do, people need them, haven't you seen the news, 200 people were shot in this country before 6pm, and one can bet that number would be the same with more victims and less people defending themselves if handguns are in any way "infringed".

Honeslty, the idea of a gun free society where these things don't happen is as ludicrously hyperbolic as my dystopian future of revolution, but I stand firmly on the side of "No right shall be taken away out of fear", I've always been that way, its not going to change now.

One should also consider the fact that, any kind of round up (the only solution that will have any real effect) will lead to MORE bloodshed, LOTS more. People don't give up their rights without a fight, and the last thing any of us want is MORE blood spilling over this issue.
