I have to agree Gun laws cannot be regulated, "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" if we wish to change them we need an ammendment to the constitution itself. Though I think we need to work on illegal immigration. My friends and I (we're all college students) have a living he** getting jobs. We can't compete with the cheap labor that is available today. I have a special skill set, I am a mentalist and do gigs it buys the gas. But not everyone has a very unusual skill set. no the bill of rights make it a federal issue and the states should not be involved in gun control and the right to bear arms is being infringed on already mostly by state laws that should not be there to begin with yes illegal immigration needs to be a top priority if not the #1 priority infringe verb infringed, infringing 1. To break or violate (eg a law or oath). Example: You are infringing the copyright by using that material Thesaurus: violate, break, infract.intr 2. To encroach or trespass; to affect (a person's rights, freedom, etc) in such a way as to limit or reduce them. Thesaurus: encroach, intrude, transgress, overstep, trespass, violate. Form: infringe on something (especially) Form: infringe upon something3. To interfere with (a person's rights). http://www.allwords.com/word-infringed.html """"""to limit or reduce them"""""" putting a waiting time and a limit on the number or kind you can own is an infringement |

Restrictive gun laws were first tried in the late 1800's, not in Europe, but in violence prone states here in America. The laws failed and violence rates continued to rise. Those laws were repealed after World War I.
Stricter gun laws I am convinced will not prevent senseless killings, or even sensible ones. All they will do is make it more difficult for law-abiding citizens to obtain firearms and infringe on their Second Amendment rights. There is a myth that most murders are committed by ordinary, law-abiding citizens who kill a relative or acquaintance in a moment of anger only because a gun is available. The real truth is that the overwhelming majority of murders are committed by career criminals, people with lifelong histories of violence. Even those people who accidently kill others with guns tend to have felony records and histories of substance abuse. Studies consistently show that on the average, gun owners are better educated and hold more prestigious jobs than non-owners. Of course, criminals are not included in the afore-mentioned statement. Early studies that labeled gun owners violence prone turned out to be based on questions that addressed only willingness to come to the aid of crime victims. In other words, good citizenship was confused with violence. There are only about 100,000 police officers on patrol at any one given time. That is 100,000 police officers patrolling our streets to protect approximately 300 million people. Unless you get attacked in a Dunkin' Donuts, the chances of a police officer being near enough to you to assist are practically nil. This is a violent country. Until something is done about the conditions that cause our country to be violent, it almost makes sense to own a gun for protection than not to. In any case, every American has the right, thanks to our Founding Fathers, to make that decision for themselves. |
