REGARDING:
“It will be America if high powered assault weapons are finally regulated. It does not violate the 2nd amendment.”

The wording of the Second Amendment to the Constitution, in the Bill of Rights says:
“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.”

Assuming literacy, it DOES violate the second amendment to tell the people what arms they can keep and bear. It IS an infringement of that right.

AND
“Having them and using them to kill AMERICANS violates everyone’s rights.”

Using weapons to kill Americans does not always violate everyone’s rights. If those Americans are killing small children, killing those killers is an appropriate use of weaponry. In fact if they are threatening Americans, killing them is often an appropriate use of weaponry. People have a right to live unless they try to take away the same rights from others.

If people are using anything to murder people, they are violating their rights, the choice of weapon isn’t the problem.

AND
“All of our rights. small men need big guns to make them big. grow up and get big in your minds and hearts. Guns don’t make you men.”

Rights aren’t about being big men or cowards; they are about things others can’t take away simply because they don’t want you to be able to do them. Those who would belittle others for exercising their rights are bullies. Please contemplate.

REGARDING:
” im sure the afl/cio idiots would start complaining that they would be violating a persons civil rights because they would be trying to deny that person the right to own a gun…”

AFL/CIO is a labor union organization, interested in good jobs and benefits for its members. That is not idiotic nor is it related to civil liberties such as the right to keep and bear arms.

Is it just me, or is it always a guaranteed gun free zone that this sort of thing happens? The people who would do these crazy things are always the only one that is armed. The police (protection) can’t be everywhere at the same time, so they come and clean up after the shootings. My hat is off to them who perform those jobs, I am not bashing LEO. But common sense tells me, if more gun free zones are created, it is likely that these sorts of events will increase. I refuse to lose my status as a citizen and become a subject or servant to a tyrannical government.
“You won’t get gun control by disarming law-abiding citizens. There’s only one way to get real gun control: Disarm the thugs and the criminals, lock them up and if you don’t actually throw away the key, at least lose it for a long time… It’s a nasty truth, but those who seek to inflict harm are not fazed by gun controllers. I happen to know this from personal experience.”
~Ronald Reagan
To the gun controllers I only have this to say……MOLON LABE!!!!

Jimbo I am really surprised that you would oppose gun control. You think you know people for years and it turns out that you know nothing at all.

Nikki & Kathy, please re-read Friction Against the Machine’s second paragraph in his letter. This has nothing to do with being a “Macho Man” & everything to do with defense against a tyrannical government. The liberal media programming such as MSNBC news would have you believe otherwise.

A school resource officer at every school needs to be considered. They could help with a lot of issues for deans and principles. Most schools already have a SRO. We have a lottery to help fund our school system I am sure they can find $50,000 a year per school for the budget increase. Gun control is not free it to will cost tax payers.

Fla state congressional representatives and senators are too frightened of the NRA taking away the big bucks. Assault weapons should be regulated and controlled, there is no one that needs 50 rounds fired in 45 seconds to protect themselves or to hunt with, if you do you might shouldn’t have a gun in the first place. Freedom doesn’t mean stupidity. Regulate and control assault weapons, they are not for hunting, they are not for self protection they are to kill as many people as you can as quickly s you can. If you need an assault weapon you may not be a real man.
