So what happens when those in charge decide that Starbucks is not healthy and decides to make it illegal. Or when they decide what is taught in public schools or who gets and doesn't get "free" medical support.
So you are good with the people in charge deciding what "rights" you are allowed to have.
I do believe what was posted earlier. We do not have a gun problem as much as we have a cultural problem. I do believe that as a society we are digressing. decades ago you could order a gun thru Sears and Roebucks. Gun in every pickup truck in the high school parking lot. Children grew up around guns and it wasn't such a big deal. I was raised around guns and my daughter was raised around guns. I used them for work and relaxation. My sister raised her children to believe guns will jump up by themselves and make the owner shoot people.
Lets put the blame exactly where it belongs, the criminals and mentally defective people that use them to harm people. Guns are a tool, just like a hammer, or a car, or even a cell phone. Used for the intended purpose everything is good, but bad people wanting to hurt or kill others will use them for other than their intended purpose. Atleast with a gun I have the ability to defend myself and family.
