The founding fathers knew that governments kill people!!Some 300millon in the twentieth century and the first thing they did was take there guns and the criminals still had there guns.In order to keep our government in the checks and balances we have THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS AND THAT RIGHT SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED UPON!!So if any one doesn’t understand this your stupid and Brian dead!! get off my guns and what part of the kings English dont you understand ??Shall not be infringed upon!!
What about all those car accidents? Using your logic, nobody should have a car either, they might hit a pedestrian or another car or drive off a cliff. Lady, if you don’t want own or use firearms, then exercise your freedom and don’t. But don’t tell the rest of us what we can or can’t do. Take your nanny state ideals to someplace where they are appreciated, like England or Australia.
Dennis puts a nice exclamation point on Jennifer Fischer’s essay, doesn’t he? Thanks, Dennis. I hope Brian isn’t dead, after,all.
Interesting. Maybe if the liberals hadn’t destroyed the moral fiber in this country we wouldn’t have so many mental cases. Children today are raised with no values and believe they are entitled.
Thank you for writing this article. I am a law-abiding gun owner and I fear for this great nation! Mental health is a HUGE issue and I think it should be a top priority. Instead of spending countless tax dollars to fund the anti-gun campaigns, they should be funding a mental health initiative!

Whenever someone asserts a “stigma”, I sense immediately their malevolence.
Whenever someone repeats a “stigma”, I sense immediately their naiveté.

A vote is also a powerful thing. Predicating a condition on whether or not you can vote would violate your right to suffrage.
Arms are the same thing as votes: rights. You can’t predicate conditions on rights. Sure, you can revoke rights through due process of law, but you can’t burden the exercise of a right to the law-abiding.
You can’t put a psychological examination before any rights enumerated in the United States Constitution. That would render them to privileges.
