The truth is that stricter gun control does not necessarily go against the second amendment. All restrictions such as background checks, and limiting the type of weapon that can be owned, do is serve to help protect the population as a whole. This does not prevent responsible gun owners from purchasing firearms, for protection or sport, and using them in a lawful manner. That being said, it seems unlikely that introducing any form of gun control will be easy and that it may be a long time before changes are introduced, if it ever happens. |

The right of THE PEOPLE to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!!!
So, please explain how any form of government control is not an infringement.
The Constitution is an agreement between the states to establish a federal government, and establishes the duties and obligations of such a government. The Bill of Rights enumerates certain rights of the people of which the federal government may not interfere.
Regardless of what the courts say, any act by the government to regulate, license, or control the possession of arms by the people is a violation of the Constitution! |

Background checks .... debatable, both effectually as well as Constitutionally. Banning classes of guns IS WITHOUT ANY QUESTION UNCONSTITUTIONAL. What part of "shall NOT BE INFRINGED" does the author not understand? No doubt it's the word "infringe." Infringe: 1.) To intrude upon or into, 2.) To diminish. In as much definition 1 contains too many words for the author to deal with easily, let's go with #2. How is banning guns NOT a diminish mentioned of a protected right?

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She well knows that by one enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standards of freedom. � JOHN QUINCY ADAMS (1821) |
