I was talking to a group of people at my favorite restaurant where we meet for coffee and the topic of gun control came up. One of the ladies and a couple of guys think we should ban guns all together. My answer to that is we should ban guns but at the same time let ban Cannabis (Marijuana), Heroin, Methamphetamine, cocaine and other drugs that are known to kill.
I know that alcohol is legal but should we put it on the above list? More people have been killed in alcohol related car accidents then guns have killed people in the commission of a crime. A highway patrol officer said to add baseball bats as well…..so ok we will add them too.
If we can ban these things would we live in a safer world? I would love to hear all of your thought on this.

First of all, our right to own guns is guaranteed by the Constitution. It can not be changed by a law passed by Congress or by a Presidential Finding. It could only be changed by an amendment to the Constitution.
For an amendment to be enacted, it first must be approved by two thirds of both the House and the Senate. Then it must be passed by three fourths of the states. Nobody is going to ban guns.

I do believe in the second amendment and we should have the right to protect our person as well as our property. The point I was trying to make is by outlawing guns will never work. Look at the war on drugs, has it stopped or even slowed down?

Wouldn't it be interesting if congress found that the second amendment only applied to weaponry available at the time the amendment was written? And what if the Supreme Court upheld that decision? We would all be limited to single shot muzzle loaders.
I find that possibility very intriguing.

As an ignorant Brit doesn't your constitution only give the right to bear arms if you are in a militia?

I have a couple of those but I live in TN and quite a few people here own them. We even have a mussle loading hunting season. A Country Boy Can Survive. We are ready for that too, just in case.
