All Hail the Second Amendment

[Minimalist]

None that the gun nuts will accept.

They want to continue to be free to shoot themselves in the ass. That does not bother me. It's when they shoot other people in the ass that I get concerned.

You see, what this series of articles I've been posting shows that it is not "criminals" who are the main problem. It is idiots.

We have no plans to stop idiots from getting guns.

Please think of some.

No, the number of firearms-related deaths by homicide far outweighs the accidental deaths.

Reasonable restrictions would include training and licensing just like we do to keep SUVs out of the hands of idiots. That works so well.

Actually, in 2010 there were 8,775 homicides and 19,300+ suicides using guns....which sort of puts to rest the myth that having a gun in your home makes you "safer."

And, no, it would take something more than the placebo of "training." It seems as if every week some cop shoots himself or someone else because he momentarily forgot his training.

Maybe you're right. Maybe we should just ban the fucking things.
