The gun nuts always state the Second Amendment guarantees all the others. They could not be more wrong. Best I can tell, the gun nut's zealous pursuit of gun ownership yesterday denied 27 people all of their First Amendment Rights. To paraphrase Mr. Nader, the gun nuts have made our neighborhoods Unsafe at any Location. Fed up in my gun nut red state.
By the way, by the logic of the gun nuts, the country would be safer if everyone carried a gun. By that logic the world be safer if we armed everyone with nuclear weapons. I suppose then the NRA would be happy with a nuclear armed North Korea or Iran.
My deepest condolences to the families and friends of the shooting victims.

(11,464 posts)I have made this argument for years.
ALL GUNS off the street. Make ALL illegal in the streets.
and collectors can keep theirs, in their house, with a sign on the door saying there is one in that house
once ALL guns are off the street, then it is very easy to enact laws to ensure NO guns are in the street, with ZERO tolerance for any person found with a gun
ZERO TOLERANCE like they have for teenage drinking.
Megafines, MEGA sentences, and MEGA security to keep us safe
If no one is safe, or everyone dead, there is no 1st amendment as you state.
How many people will die for this.

(11,464 posts)You know all those artists that appeared on the 12-12 conceert?
Mike has donated more personally, then every one of them put together.
(one artist who was not there as he was prior committment overseas, has probably donated as much, but as said Elton wasn't there).
I can understand though, that the NRA is scared sheet especially today.
Mayor Mike for Homeland Security Gun Czar.
