in As Multiple-Death Shootings Surge, Congress Looks Away on The Washington Independent
The entire gun culture in the US is like a cult and all gun nuts are the members of this cult. It's quite difficult to convince sect members that they are wrong because the propaganda of the gun lobby has changed their brains too much.
The problem with gun nuts is that despite 10,000 firearm homicides a year they still claim guns provide security. This is so idiotic and outrageous that probably not even God could convince them how wrong and inhuman they are.
BTW, the 2nd Amendment allows guns for active militia members only.

John L. That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. You obviously don't know anything about the Bill of Rights.

The phrasing used in the 2nd Amendment is the same as used in the 1st Amendment... where different examples are strung together by the use of commas. In the 2nd Amendment, "A well regulated Militia" and "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms" are both separate entities, just as in the 1st Amendment's "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, ........,and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Get real, get the facts, & act like you've been somewhere before you open your mouth and 'remove all doubt'.

BTW, according to the Federal stats on automotive deaths each year, which average about 50,000 per year, maybe we should require that everyone prove a need to drive a car, which is a privilege, not a right guaranteed under the Constitution.
Let's also not forget that medcial accidents kill approximately 100,000 people every year, so maybe all medical professionals be registered as dangerous weapons?

Hmm, McCain lives in one of the sunniest states of the nation but doesn't support this future technology. Instead he screams all the time "drill, drill, drill".
What does this say about the character of this alleged maverick?
