people's right to own a gun.



Nestor,



Same emotional argument could be made to take away other constitutional
rights. How many criminals have killed, where you could say
had the police been able to search without a warrant, hold without charging,
interrogate without a lawyer, use major evidence at trial that was
ruled inadmissible, that next killing would not have happened?

Or how about looking at it from another perspective. One's right to
life trumps 100 nut cases walking the streets, so anyone who mentally
ill and could possibly be a threat should be locked up. Of course the
usual libs that have issues with guns, are the ones championing all the above "rights".



Seems to me, you keep avoiding the real problem, rationalizing. Mental

illness is the problem with guns being used to commit large scale

murder. Mass murder was around long before school yard shootings.



As to "right to life", where is the outrage about babies being ripped

from wombs.
