Reply #93: Your personal opinions and feelings [View All]

[Francis Marion]

are duly noted. Now what?

Do we respect only those portions of the Bill of Rights aligned with your emotional comfort index?

Nixon didn't feel like respecting the Fourth Amendment... should he get a pass on Watergate?

I would challenge you, if you have not already done so, to inform yourself about the reality of 80,000,000 American gun owners- people who don't commit crimes, respect the rights of others, and don't bother anybody day by day.

The microcosm of gun criminals- many of whom, as felons, have been deprived of the right to own guns through due process of law- don't deserve to influence the amount of Liberty afforded to the rest of us.

Suppose a newspaper editor prints up a libelous story. Is the answer to take away our publishing rights, shut down the press?

Obviously, no. Society makes the editor answer for what he did to a judge- punish the criminal, and leave the rights of The People alone.
