Taking up arms against our current government would be an effort in futility. The playing field isn't the same as it was 250 years ago. Want to go up against Washington with your AR-15's and AK-47's? They send a drone with a tactile missle and end your "constitutional right" then and there. It's called diplomacy. That's what this country was built on. Take the mentality that you need weapons to file grievances against your government, and you end up like Libya, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
I just don't understand why this whole thing has become a gun issue....One of the most prolific seriel killers (the Green river killer) strangled his victims. Because he was quiet and didn't use a gun he went unapprehended for many years...killing on a regular basis for whatever twisted reason he had. He murdered lots more people than this deluded soul. The list of weird sicko people, and what they did to their victims is long and horrifying.
A lunitic is a menace to society. We should address the issue of how this crazy managed to slip thru the cracks undetected to do so much damage....it makes no difference what method of murder he selected to carry out his illusions and sick twisted reasons. We need a way to find the crazy folks before they do their damage, be it with a nylon stocking or a gun.
The patient doctor, or the lawyer client privilege should for example, not apply where a murderer or the murderous thoughts of someone the doctor feels may act those thoughts out are involved. There should be a way to prevent the crazies and evil people from being allowed to run free when somebody, somewhere knows something.
It won't prevent all of the sad events but it would curb many of them. The lobbyists against guns use these events as a sounding board to justify their stand point. The problem is not the weapon of choice, it's the crazy that was allowed to roam free undetected and managed to harm other people.
I want to add this: My mother was shot with a hunting riffle by her drunken husband....(Not my natural father) So I certainly have no love for guns. No doubt if the idiot had no rifle he would have clobbered her over the head with a skillet or something. In all honesty...it just wasn't the guns fault, nor was it because the gun was handy by the door... she may not have survived a beating over the head with a blunt object...the problem was the drunken husband.
