All Hail the Second Amendment

[TheBeardedDude]

I have to admit that I don't think I would go quite so far as to say that the gun lobby has bought Supreme Court Justices, but I will certainly say that I don't think all of them are the unbiased non-political individuals they are supposed to be.

And to change subjects, the notion that "if there was someone with a gun to shoot that guy then it wouldn't have happened" is fallacious. I could just as easily say that if there were no guns then he would not have been able to commit that act either. It also opens the door to the question of whether or not you give those kids the guns to defend themselves. Because right now in the US, someone who has had absolutely no training with a gun could have been there and tried to stop him, and killed other people in the process.

Let me put it another way, the Navy Yard shooting a few months back was a scene of chaos where there were reports of multiple shooters. The reason for that was because plain clothes policemen were mistaken for bad guys. Now, what if Joe Blow the jackass who has a gun, see a plain clothes policeman and shoots first?


Also, no one has addressed my previous set of questions and concerns.
