Please tell me what laws would have prevented this.

Why is it that when talking about gun ownership, the sport of hunting and home protection are assumed to be the only purposes for owning weapons?

The most eloquent explanation of the Second Amendment, I’ve ever heard is that, “The Second Amendment is the reset button of the Constitution.”

Where I went to school and my personal readings of the Federal show that the Founding Fathers included the Second Amendment because of their justified distrust of large, central governments; so they included the Second Amendment to allow the American to face a large, central government, hostile to the wants and demands of the people, much like we have today.

I forget the name of the Senator, who said they had no problem with people owning weapons used for hunting, but felt rifles, as the AR-15, AR-10, etc, should not be allowed.

I personally owned both of the aforementioned rifles and must say that they are both my favorite rifles to fire, with the exception of my Savage 10, when shooting from the 500 meter line.

An education program is much overdue to let the American people know what the intent of the Founding Fathers were and to never allow ourselves to be lulled into thinking that our government is a benign, benevolent government, whose only purpose is to help us.

The theater is a place of free speech, and to see places of free speech while people walk around without weapon just shows how dum America has become.

This thing is a Trayvon set up by the gay terrorists. I think I smell a Bill Ayer type terror operation getting covered up.
