This amendment is 200 years old. It was written for a different
society with
a tiny population.
This is a different world. A different society with different
problems. This
America is way overpopulated in certain places and suffers from many
injustices
that result in a considerable segment of the population mentally unfit
for
the responsible use of firearms. When you add that fact to the
additional
problem of accidental deaths due to firearms, you get an appalling
death toll.
It's really absurd for gun nuts to keep pointing to the 2nd Am. It has
become
irrelevant in modern America. You think guns are cool and I don't.
When enough
people think like me, guns will be removed from this sick society, and
we'll
go from there. It might be a mistake or it might not. But you gun nuts
will
not prevent the rest of us from finding out.
The Colorado killings have turned the tide. I think you guys see the
writing
on the wall. To accommodate those of you who just can't live with
that, I would
set aside a " reservation " where any American can go live with their
guns.
Think of it as a free fire zone. How about Idaho?
As for hunters, how about this suggestion? All hunting in the state of
Idaho
would take place between three and three thirty AM on the first Sunday
in
June. All hunters would be confined to a very large corral where a
helicopter
would drop hundreds of live chickens, and the hunters could only shoot
the
chickens once they hit the ground. There would be no limit on kills.
Ahh.
