At first, when I saw the headline I
thought it must be from the Onion.
After all, how can anyone take second amendment away from wife beaters? How can this be? What will the NRA
say? After all, if terrorists on a no fly list are entitled to a well
regulated militia shouldn't wife beaters also be entitled
to guns?
But then I was looking at the word regulated and
it says , "controlled or supervised." So by Second Amendment's use of the word regulated I can only assume our founding fathers meant we should
look into who buys guns before we should hand them out. The Supreme Court must now act and take guns
away from those on the terror no fly list just like they will take guns away from wife beaters.
This is what Ron Reagan said "I'm a member of the NRA. And
my position on the right to bear arms is well known. But, I support the Brady
bill (named for James Scott
"Jim" Brady who along with Ronald Reagan was
shot by John Hinckley.
Years later James Brady died from his injuries) and I urge
the Congress to enact it without delay. It's just plain common sense that there
be a waiting period [7 days] to allow local law enforcement officials to
conduct background checks on those who wish to buy a handgun."
Why can't
republicans who love Ronald Reagan and quote him all the time support his most
important opinion that waiting period [7 days] to allow local law enforcement
officials to conduct background checks on those who wish to buy a handgun and
that a ban on assault weapons be enacted.
Again like
Reagan I don't want anyone's guns taken away, but I just want what Reagan
wanted, a waiting period [7 days] to allow local law enforcement
officials to investigate the person buying a gun and a ban on assault weapons
that should only be used by police officers and military personnel.
