A rational solution would be to recognize a citizen's right to keep and bear arms and balance it with the part of the Declaration of Independence that recognizes the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Having a right to bear arms has to be measured against the rights of those who worry about their happiness. Many of us are so concerned about all the guns in America that it is very difficult to be happy.
Ed.: Now the antis are inventing a right to be happy! |

The Declaration of Independence is not the Constitution.
The Constitution trumps the Declaration of Independence every time. |

You're entitled to PURSUE happiness.
If you think violating MY rights will make you happy, you aren't entitled to have that happiness granted to you. |

Rights don'tget "balanced."
Besides which, the RKBA is more often a positive benefit. Depriving us of them would result in more violence and crime.
How do you "balance" that against life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?
This is absurd poppy cocktail masquerading as reasoned thinking.
It ought to be quashed where ever found! |

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. � Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
