Gun control is a subject which lies dormant in the hearts, minds, and souls of the American public. Its menacing social connotation rises and set as often as the sun itself. With respect to the recent shootings of innocent children and adults at the Sandy Hill Elementary School in Connecticut, and previous gun related violence, gun control once again is a national hot topic which offers various opinions among groups who support the letter of the law regarding the Second Amendment and those who oppose the Amendment altogether.

@ Drammach - great analysis, insight and valuable input. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I agree that the 2nd Amendment is more complex than simply protecting the rights to bear arms. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry to say but every state considers driving to be a privilege that any number of offensives can result in that privilege be revoked, some times for a year or longer. And sometimes you don’t ever get it back. They certainly don’t teach things like this in any public school I’m sure. If driving is a God given right( I never knew God was in the business of granting rights) then it should be a God given right for me to think some else should pay for me to drive a Mercedes Benz.

Well the supreme court considers obamacare to be constitutional, which is utter nonsense. So states "considering" driving a privilege is by no means any test of legitimacy. Yes, our rights do come from god and moving about by whatever means god has given us is a fundamental, inalienable right.

This "driving is a privilege" is utter nonsense that has been conditioned into our thinking. Yes, in my day driving was taught in public schools and it's the public schools that have brain washed our heads into believing the government somehow grants us this privilege and thus has the power to take it away. Pure horse puckey!

Give me a supreme court with strict constructionist judges and I will take that bet any day.

"If driving is a God given right( I never knew God was in the business of granting rights)"

?

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness......

I’ll say it again so you’ll understand; Driving is a privilege and not a right. Go to your local DMV and ask them.
