2nd Ammendment Rights: Should Guns Be Banned?

[Wetzel]

The mere act of owning a gun harms no other person and cannot morally justify criminal penalties.

Guns are inanimate objects, they can not act by themself. Put the responsibility for the action where it belongs, on the owner and user of the gun. When a gun owner is responsible and uses their gun safely, no harm, no crime. When a gun owner is irresponsible and uses their gun to commit a crime, hold them responsible and punsih them severly for imparing the rights of another.

A gun dosn't commit a crime, a person does.


As for drug money supporting terrorism, that is not propaganda. The propaganda is the spin put on it. The government's "Every peaceful recreational user helped pay to crash a plane into the WTC" or the "Prohibition makes prices artificially high, making it lucrative to criminals"

Take a lession from prohibition, both alcohol and drugs.
In both cases, once banned, use increassed and the price skyrocketed. Turf wars and violence were brought by those selling them to protect their profits.

In both cases, all laws designed to prevent people from having them failed. Banning guns will not stop gun ownership.

A quote from a great American statesman, patriot and lover of freedom comes to mind.

"Those who give up essential liberty, to preserve a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
~Benjamin Franklin

That rings just as true today as it did 200 years ago.
