"Then Dems get control and add Are you a Christian? Yes? then you are disqualified. Are you a Conservative? Yes? then you are disqualified and so on."

I see your point. I don't agree that anyone and everyone should have a gun. I don't have an issue with responsible teens having one for hunting or self defense etc. However, I have an issue with anyone who is a danger to society having one. Either we are a nation of laws or we have no laws.

I understand that and agree that there are some people that should not have firearms, but don't pass laws that can be perverted and used against honest law abiding citizens or worse that won't them have things that they have a right to. We also need to realize that criminals will find ways to get the things that they are not allowed to have and that no law will stop that. Laws are there to entice people to be good, if they choose to ignore them the laws effectively are no good.

Case in point, we have a laws against murder. Does that stop people from doing it? Not the people that choose to ignore them, only the law abiding people. I will note that those that abide by the law are the same people that would not do it even if there was not a law against it due to their morals/religious beliefs.
