Their 2nd Amendment ( 1791 )
Protects the right of individuals to keep & bear arms.
Reqested by several states during the Constitutional ratification debates, the widespread desire for such an amendment reflected the lingering resentment over the widespread efforts of the British to confiscate the colonist's firearms at the outbreak of the Revolutionary War.
The need once the Brits were gone remained????????
Perhaps for food, perhaps for injuns, whatever.
In 2014 the problem with guns should be solved with a sense of morality, a sense of principle, and let's face it a plain sense of right & wrong & downright good manners.
Those things have sadly gone from our society, we are now a heap of narcissistic, hedonistic idiots, with less sensitivity than ceramic tiles, more interested in what others have and what we don't have.
We are too self obsessed to go get it for ourselves - like our fathers & their fathers had to, no we want handouts.
Too darn hard.
What happened to a work ethic - no we now have third generation dole and have kids willy nilly and expect everyone else (Government) to cover the cost.
We have to have signs to save us from cliffs because we are idiots.
We have to have signs that tell us there is a rock under the water don't dive, because we are idiots.
We cannot for the life of us take one iota of responsibility for our actions because we are moral failures - murder now is OK as long as you have an excuse.
Whatever happened to being happy with what we could afford - not what we wanted and got into a whole heap of debt, 'enjoying' it, then blaming everyone else.
Yes, we are all created equal, the truth is some are cleverer than others, always have been, always will be.
It is therefore equal opportunity, the right to have a go, that we all have a right to.
I have read so much pure unadulterated, ??????? on guns ( if no-one had one we would have to resort to the frypan ) at least most would survive, knives etc, that my blood boils, it's war overseas, it's war at home, us against us.
Don't you think it is about time to take heed, it all has to stop somewhere, sometime, or we have every Mad Max & the genre in our future.
Every man for himself, what a great world to live in.
We should be ashamed for what the human race has become.
