Vanity - An Attempt at a Concise Gun Control Argument
12/17/12 | dagogo redux

Historically, the world’s worst gun violence against fellow citizens has overwhelmingly occurred when the military and police forces of would be tyrants were not balanced by an adequately armed citizenry.

America’s private citizens should be restricted when it comes to the kind of guns they can own.

They should only be allowed to own the guns that the government’s standing army’s soldiers have access to.

1. We keep and bear arms with no restrictions. Eliminate gun free zones by eliminating all federal restrictions on keeping and bearing arms since they are unconstitutional.

2. Determine which weapons fall under well-regulated which means well-equipped and well-trained. Well-equipped means well-equipped to deter all enemies, foreign and domestic. Domestic enemies includes every type of criminal or lunatic who attacks our society including schools. Someone asked about fighter jets on another thread. But they probably can't name a domestic enemy that requires such firepower in the militia.

3. Finally make sure everyone is aware of their responsibility. The militia is every able-bodied man (now includes women). As mentioned they must be well trained and well equipped. Teachers will have to step up and get training. The Nancy Lanzas of the world will have to secure their weapons, but obviously a mass shooting like last week will be much more difficult once the teachers are trained to resist.

My license plate states (to the state) that I am a gun owner.

The Constitution, or more correctly the Bill of Rights, allows nothing. You’re statement reeks of Fail.

Sorry. I was under the impression that the 2A was not “more or less correct” in being a part of the Constitution. Simply that, more correctly, it IS part of the Constitution.

Fail indeed.
As for the rest, see post 24

PS, when making a point, “You’re” probably better to use correct grammar when flaming someone.

I think maybe the ‘gun free zone’ signs were too small.

If they were bigger, and had a big fine on them like handicapped parking signs did that would have stopped him,
Here its $180 fine to park there without the sticker. That would make him think twice.
