It wasn’t until the late 1800’s that the government and courts began to really hammer on the rights of people. Until fairly recent times there has been no need to clarify that it was a Constitunional right, it was a given! People have become educated IDIOTS in recent history.
The KKK was among other things, a gun-control organization. They were trying to keep guns out of the hands of newly freed slaves … but still gun control.
Yes, racist Democrats, but let's gloss over that. Would those newly freed slaves have been better or worse off if they had been able to be armed? Not to mention that the KKK wanted to disarm newly freed slaves for the same reason leftist still want to disarm those they would control.
A recent gun buyback drive in Los Angeles resulted in someone turning in a rocket launcher. Comforting.
Cite? Of course not.
There’s no reason a Neighborhood Watch captain should be patrolling his block with a criminal record and a pistol.
Which may be the reason he wasn't....
Zimmerman was a catastrophe realized. Even in the wake of new evidence about this case, the fact remains if Zimmerman didn’t have a gun, 16-year-old Trayvon Martin would be alive.
And Zimmerman likely wouldn't be alive.
The United States is number one in the world in civilian gun ownership. And since we’re not last in gun violence (we’re the 14th highest in deaths—way higher in just injuries) it’s safe to assume that increasing the number of guns doesn’t decrease the number of gun deaths.
Not so long as Holder People and other Democrats ignore laws against murder, robbery, burglary, carjacking and felonies in general. A good deal of those gun deaths occur in Democrat bastions with just the gun laws the author advocates. Many of the dead are disarmed and defenseless in the face of these criminal thugs.
Just like cutting taxes doesn’t increase revenue—...
Actually it does. But why would the author not be ignorant about that as well?
What a brain dead parrot.
The Supreme Court already ruled your view obsolete.
Sorry about your luck.
Does she really think a nuclear weapon is an "arm" that might be "borne"? What an idiot!
The writer of this piece, might have had something worth reading, until he inserted this:
“Just like cutting taxes doesn’t increase revenue—making gun ownership unlimited doesn’t make us safer. “
This man knows not economics, and by all accounts of public information, it has been validated that gun ownership has resulted in less crime.
This man is a Statist, and not worth the kilobytes wasted to trasmit his article!
