So a lot of people are getting up in arms about this tragedy and how they can't be armed. Most people seem to mistake the words regulate and educate as remove and eliminate. However, most aren't talking about taking guns away, as we really can't take them away any better then we can remove all blenders, drills or power saws. Plus, its a constitutional amendment to ensure that we have a free republ
ic. What they may be talking about is keeping better tabs on things that are designed to kill. And make no mistake, that is all they are designed to do.

In my mind, when you buy a gun, you have pretty much surrendered your rights to being private about what you are going to do with it, and how you are going to keep it secure. You have decided to engage in an arms war, and as such, you should be regulated. You are now in possession of the 2nd most deadly weapon known to man.

There really should be no reason why that when you buy a hand gun, or any kind of firearm that you aren't signed up for regular visits to your homestead. Most of you gun owners talk about how you can't blame a car for DUI fatalities but never bring up the point that cars are way more regulated then your fire arms. You have to license yourself, and you have to license your car. You have to keep a photo id to prove you can use said vehicle and you also have to prove that you have insurance in case anything goes wrong. Where is that with guns?

In regards to this recent tragedy, and other tragedies. Yes, people can get guns. Criminals get guns! But most don't become criminals until they commit the crime. If we were to stop the "free market" of guns, maybe we can minimize the amount of crimes.

And sure, there are going to be evil people and they are going to find a way to do evil things all the time, however, your "patriotic" prevention of us restricting them from easy access to these so called tools is what exacerbates the problem.

In closing, there needs to be more regulation on weapons. I am not going to ask you to lay down your arms or give them up, but I want to know what arms you have, who has access to them, and how you are going to keep your community safe. If you say any of this isnt my business, then you really arent part of my community.
praesepe:
i thought this was very well-written and well-reasoned. it would be nice to think that things like this didn't need regulation, just like it would be nice to think that anarchy could work, but the fact is while there are people who still feel that they need to own guns, then there still needs to be regulation.

cause we ain't perfect yet
