“But when a right becomes an acute threat to the general welfare it is time for re-evaluation.”
It’s called the Bill of Rights, Tom. Not the Bill of Needs.
But he may be half-right. Maybe it is time for revolution.
What is interesting is that all rights are an acute threat to SOMEONE. If this sort of thing was happening in every state in every month of every year, I’d be for some serious changes. And most of those would have to do with the people the guns.
I drive about 90 miles on high speed two lane roads every day on my commute. It works because it is not in the nature of a normal human being to cross the center-line at high speed on purpose to hit someone. If people start doing that en-mass, we will modify our roads. But first we’ll try to find a common element that causes them to do it to nip it before it gets to that point.
This is why it is imperative that we find out what this guy’s motives and viewpoint of life were that caused him to do it.
And a few people crossing the center-line “on purpose” every year will not require any changes. It will just be part of the risk of driving.
In a country of 330,000,000 people. this was a very low impact event, beyond the news and social media frenzy. You have a better chance of winning the lottery than getting shot and killed like that.
