Okay basically heres the deal, people are goin to get shot either way.  One of the main arguments for pro-gun control people is that the crime on the streets would decrease, it would be harder for those kids to get guns.  Have yall ever heard the saying "Locks only keep honest people out"? the same principle applies here, people who want guns are gunna get them one way or another.  The only difference is that a part of their proceeds wont be goin to uncle sam and there are no safety regulations, so therefore the chances of an accident go through the roof.  Plus it will add a HUGE market to the black market, you know how drugs are now, or alcohol was durin prohibition? you will have the same thing now. By the way the second amendment contains 2 clauses independent of each other, yes the right to a well regulated militia is given and so is the right to bear arms.  You know when Thomas Jefferson wrote that, he wrote it in a negative language.  That means that its language is restrictive, not charitable.  Meaning that it restricts teh Government, instead of pointing out individual rights to give to the people.  Thus limiting the government and giving more rights to the people.  He is spinning in his grave at the idea of gun control.  Now i realize the Constitution was written vague so it could be made into a moving changing document, however the framers intent cannot be blantantly trampled upon.  Tommy gun (i realize this name prolly makes me look like a hardcore gun nut but its a nickname given to me a long time ago and not for my pol. views lol)

Despite the fact that it was not Jefferson who wrote the Second Amendment (Madison wrote the Bill of Rights), I somewhat agree with Tommygun here.  I am surprised that these radical conservatives have not yet advocated the aborting of all minority babies to solve this problem.  [[User:GodlessLiberal|GodlessLiberal]] 22:39, 20 March 2007 (EDT)
