All competent Americans have a constitutional right to keep and bear arms

Therein lies the rub. Who sets the rules? Does a xanax preclude one from owning firearms? It may not now, but if you let's the camel's nose under the tent, you know darn well that in 5 years or so, new mental health provisions will be coming.

There should be ZERO laws to own a gun. Anyone who proves they cannot and uses their gun to even threaten violence will get a 10 year minimum. No pleas bargains and no parole. Recidivists commit 80%+ of crime, though admittedly not they types of massacres we witnessed in CT.

Prohibition did not work.

The "war on drugs" is not working.

And gun laws do not work,...in fact, looking at empirical data such as Cook Country IL and Wash DC, they are have the OPPOSITE effect.

I do agree with you. Perhaps I said some of the things I said to draw out a sane position on the present situation. You are aware that the antigun onslaught is coming in full force. We must deal with it as rationally as possible. We must, at the same time, show absolute sympathy for the 20 babies that were hunted down like cowering puppies and shot by this maniacal demon.
