As we write this, there are six grieving families in Nashville and another in Huntsville. It's like the Vietnam War as we were growing up. It never stops.
Around 18 months ago, a local police officer was shot by a mentally ill individual. At that time, one of our then regular bloggers asked us to advertise a raffle in support of the slain officer's family. The prize? A gun.
We refused and have not heard from our friend since. Would we change our decision if we had to do it over? No.
One of our regular readers asked why bans on assault rifles bring cries of a "gun grab?" He's absolutely correct. Regulation on these weapons is not the same as taking your hunting rifles, senoritas, or other small guns. Yet, while some work to restrict these weapons, others are working to do away with current regulations on machine guns. Think about that.
Personal opinion? Would we repeal or amend the Second Amendment if we could? Considering what our society is today, yes.
No, morals can't be legislated, but moral behavior can.
Speaking only for...

Would Shoalanda support a 'repeal of or amendment to' the First Amendment considering the increase in incendiary rhetoric being used on social media? Please explain your answer.
ReplyDeleteNo. First Amendment = Apples. Second Amendment = Oranges.
DeleteA RIGHT is a RIGHT. RIGHTS are bestowed by God. The Constitution AFFIRMS those RIGHTS. The Constitution sets boundaries for the GOVERNMENT, not for WE THE PEOPLE. Ask a Holocaust survivor how 'Gun Control' worked out for the Jews.
ReplyDeleteAre abilities and rights the same? How is setting limits on assault rifles different than the limits now set on machine guns?
ReplyDeleteThe 2nd Amendment ISN'T about 'hunting'.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about '...shall not be infringed' is so difficult to understand?
ReplyDeleteSo explain why you can't go to Walmart or Dick's and purchase a machine gun...
DeleteAlso, please tell us why the Second Amendment is more sacrosanct than the Bible's instruction on marriage.
ReplyDeleteWalmart and Dick's don't sell machine guns. However, there are at least 2 FFL holders in the area that do. All you need is $40,000+ for the machine gun, $200 for the Federal license, and 18 months to twiddle your thumbs while the DOJ, FBI, and BATFE approve it.
ReplyDeleteBut these are not new guns; they are guns grandfathered in when this firearms law was passed.
DeleteMarriage isn't a RIGHT protected by the Constitution.
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't answer the question. Why will you or anyone support the Constitution as being more important than God's word? God doesn't speak of our "rights," He does speak of marriage. BTW, when the authors of the Constitution says God gave man certain rights, the framers failed to back it up with chapter and verse.
