Because owning a firearm is a right under the Constitution. Driving an automobile on public roads is a privilege, though you may note that one does not need to have a drivers license or take any kind of test to drive on private property.
“Because owning a firearm is a right under the Constitution.”
Then you surely agree that felons and the insane have a right to own guns.
Where in the Constitution does it say that people who are mentally ill and delusional don’t have the right to own guns?
Thanks. That’s an oft, and mistakenly, used analogy for gun control. Leftist “education” has really set in in this country. Rights and privileges are confused by many.
Too, there are rarely accidents with firearms. The guy was negligent; he had a loaded firearm, had it pointed at someone and pulled the trigger. That’s no accident. He may have not meant to shoot his girlfriend, and is why he’s crying “accident” now, but it was pure negligence on his part.
