Sorry I had to go a little further with
this cause it really ruffles my feathers.
The thing that really gets me about the
arguements that most people make for
gun control is the tendancy to draw a
distinct line between the government and
the people that absolutely should not
be there. In a nut shell that was exactly
what the framers of the constitution had
fought to ensure. Government by the
people.
When we begin to assert that the
Government should infringe on our right
to bear arms in the absence of a
mitigating cercumstance (a felony) it just
pisses me off. It completeley sets up the
Government as seperate and apart from
the people. That is the beginning of a
very slippery slope that people seem
way too eager to rush down.
