Reflections on Gun control.

The point is the media neglects to let the real story be told. Thats all they ever publicize and overlook stories like the one I posted. Nothing is perfect and you "civilized" morons just dont get it. The guns are never going away, there are far to many and the criminals will never give them up. The guns are NOT the issue. Its the nut cases intent on doing harm to others that are the issue. We as
a society have to find out how to address that situation.

I doubt that it has to do with anybody's "agenda" so much as the fact that a minor shooting incident with no fatalities in a large US city just ain't much news.
My contention is that if the principal at Sandy Hook had been armed, most of us would never have heard of that, either, since only one or two people would have been shot (the gunman and/or the principal). I'm pretty sure that the 26 school children dead is the "big story" there, don't you think? Tales of shooting incidents are a bit commonplace, I'm afraid.

You are correct - the framers of our Republic were intellectually influenced by foreigners. And the result of that influence included not only our Constitution, but the Bill of Rights. Our Bill of Rights is unique in that it is a protection for the individual against an oppressive government.
If a person not protected by our Constitution wants to argue that we should have NO Bill of Rights, we can show him examples in other countries and through history how that ends up.
If, however, they want to pick our Bill of Rights apart while upholding parts of it and abrogating other parts, they do not understand us, our Constitution or our Bill of Rights. If they want to read through our Constitution, and preferably the Federalist Papers as well, I would enjoy discussing who we are and why we are that way with them.
If they don't, the best we can do is ask them to tend to their own affairs and not bother us with their misconceptions.
