Yeah, it's a right that's protected under the Bill of Rights. It's #2. Free Speech, as we know, is #1. But, what's as obvious as the sun in the sky is that these rights are only afforded to those that utilize the rights responsibly, and, in the case of gun ownership, according to the proper protocols. It should already be clear that the right to bear arms under the Second Amendment is merely a potential privilege and not an inherent right. This is already recognized by the various differing regulations in place regarding gun ownership.
Not everyone that plans to purchase a gun can get one.
Do you think the parents of the Hanover High teen that printed
CHO SEUNG-HUI
(pinned a picture of the killer)
NATIONAL HERO
on a white T-shirt in black majik marker just told their son that it was
all right what he did and that they respect his free speech?
So, therefore, what we find is the reality that these rights are really part of a trust between the individual and the state to exercise the rights responsibly and without infringing on the rights of others.
Therefore, Rob, Mr. Instigator, a debate over all the aspects of gun control is relevant to this discussion.
Whereas, your point over and over again, Rob, is that there is no room for debate on the matter, and that the issue has been already decided and set into stone.
