A Gun A day Will Keep Everyone Away

A well regulated Militia,
 being necessary to the security of a free State, 
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, 
shall not be infringed.
Second Amendment 

I want to first say I think it was tragic that 6 people died, Congress woman got shot in the head and 19 others were injured. It's a devastating story about the 9 year old girl born on September 11, 2001, killed by the gunman. I feel so bad for her family. There were Hero's in the crowd like the Grandma who sacked the shooter, God bless her. The question is have I changed my stand on Gun Control. No way.

California is trying to ban "open carry." At least with open carry you can see who has the gun. This is an in your face group who like to rile up the anti- gun people.

Washington DC - a bill so people who work for the government can carry a concealed weapon. Hum the government can carry guns but we can't, I have a problem with that. 

The chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security Peter King of New York wants to  introduce a bill that would ban " knowingly" carrying a firearm within 1,000 feet of government officials. Do you really think a law saying you cannot carry a gun within 1,000 feet of a government official is going to help? It seems to me most people who are determined to kill or shoot a government official will try to do so, law or no law. Can you hear the crazed gunman say Oh I can't shoot that government official today because the law says I can't. I had better go home and put my gun away in the safe and make sure the trigger lock is on.

We have a right to bear arms to protect ourselves from the government and the local gang bangers.


Do you think that only the government and the gangbanger should have guns and I should not?
No way.
