If Obama cared about our kids he would have already put armed guards in schools. Not talk about more gun laws. Laws on guns that the government doesn't enforce now
The right to bear arms was not given to us so that we could go duck hunting. The right to bear arms was given to us so that we would have the ability to rise up and take back our constitutional rights when the Government became corrupt and was acting outside of the powers that were given to them. The writers of the Constitution said it was our duty to do so.
There are many examples of Corruption. I will give you 1 example for arguments sake.
We were given the freedom of information act. When Dr Shirley Moore and Richard Fine discovered and exposed that the L.A. Superior Court Judges were excepting money that was not authorized by LAW and Sturgeon vs. Los Angeles County 1 declared those payments to be UNCONSTITUTIONAL the Judges paid a lobbyist to pass SBX211 that granted themselves (Retro Active Immunity from Prosecution).
When Government and Corporations are held to the same standards of the rule of LAW as the people are held. Then and only then could there be meaningful discussions about gun control.
When Government stops taking money from the people and giving it to banks and corporations and prosecutes blatant acts of corruption then gun control might be an option.
' BANG BANG BANG ', a song by Tracy Chapman-of "Fast Car" fame ...I wanted to just add my own beliefs about this issue, expressed well by the smartly insightful Tracy Chapman, a sensitive, aware artist; she has experienced a gun assult, and is a Person-of-Color, a group that is disproportionately affected by this issue, and thus I would like to advocate her position on her behalf. 500 children die accidentally a year from guns. 1400 children are murdered by guns per year. When is enough enough, and when do we start to care enough to do something proactive ??? I will try a link to the youtube video, but I think it's prohibited here...
