While the pro and anti gun control argument goes on innocents are being killed for no reason other than mentally deficient shooters are allowed to carry on. I think we're smarter than that. We are, don't let mental deficients have guns, just leave the rest of us gun owners alone. I'm so torn on this issue. I agree. The only problem is who determines what and who is mental deficient? There are cases everyday where someone who shoukd t have had a gun kills someone. And I'd suspect a large percentage of those are domestic issues. Im far from antigun but I also can't subscribe to the "the only solution is more guns" notion. Seeing body armor made to fit in a child's backpack about makes me throw up. Especially with a 1st grader and Kindergartener in school. And 3 grand kids that will be in a few more years. I won't be waiting for the shooting to stop like Uvalde. If that happens in my children school the cops will just have to shoot me. Because if they don't there will be an F250 parked in the building I will be getting my kids. Some of you here might know the story but others not. Several years ago I showed up to a gun fight unarmed. I was very fortunate to have survived. That will NEVER happen again. Before that I wasn't to concerned with carrying. I did some tines but it wasn't something I thought about often. Now on top of my EDC I'm thinking of keeping an AR in the truck too. Society is just falling a part and I don't trust anybody anymore.

The judge was correct. It's very simple really I agree in principle. But would be concerned about some of the idiots with full auto. I'm concerned about some of the idiots with cars.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. Who regulates this militia? In the context and vernacular of the time, professional military officers regulate the militia. Untrained militiamen without leadership wouldn't be very functional, or "well regulated".

BTW, the Republicans make promises they can't pay for either. That is not unique to one party.
