The Supreme Court ruled that citizens have a Right to "bear arms" for self defense. If so, laws requiring that guns be kept separated from ammunition and disabled with trigger locks are nutsy. If I'm to have a gun to protect myself, I want it loaded, at hand, ready to shoot--and I want sufficient firepower to stop an attacker, with certainty, in his tracks!
If we can't be rational about our love/hate relationship with guns, can we at least stop being schizophrenic?!
In lieu of newly-unconstitutional bans on gun ownership, how about prohibiting gun manufacture and importation?
Yes, we should institute permissable restrictions on gun ownership. No, the most stringent gun controls will not make us more civil or less violent.
