Subjekt: Re:I think people ought to be able to own a gun. It's a right and should be honored.

Artful Dodger: But, most states have restrictions on 16 yr olds driving at night for that very reason, & they certainly have various laws against drunk driving. It seems reasonable to have restrictions on gun ownership. Take the situation at Va. Tech. If memory serves me correctly, he would not have gotten a gun if reasonable & currently legal background chks had been performed. Therefore, the perpetrator of that tragedy probably would not have killed any or as many people.

The 2nd Amendment was intended to arm a trained militia, not for every citizen to have rights to a gun. Gun control is, therfore, similar to putting restrictions on a drivers license.

Incidently, I heard a commercial on radio sponsored for a local gun show the other day. It intimated that everyone should come & get their guns "before they are all taken away". Talk about your false scare tactics & downright tackey too.
