    And they caught him before. That's law enforcement doing their job. But it's ok for the drug addict to have an illegal gun to shoot an innocent, defenseless person so that he/she can get the money for their next deal?

    owning a gun is a right, not a privilege

    Hmmm - and look at what that leads to

    So is it also a "right" to be a target of every crazed loon out there?

    It was made a right because the Federal government had no way to provide arms for it's volunteer army, since it could not collect taxes. And the volunteer army had to bring it's own weaponry to serve.

    Of course, that was when a musket could only fire 3 rounds per minute by even the most skilled combatant. Now we have bombs that could wipe a civilization off of the face of the earth. And before the Federal government started actually collecting taxes.

    Today we now have personal weapons that allow a criminal to fire 30 rounds per minute on law enforcement. Law enforcement are those guys that keep the peace. Rights and privileges are arbitrary to a criminal who already knows (or has no awareness) that he's gonna get the electric chair.

    Also, even though we have a right to choose our own medical treatment, people are still trying to remove that right for women. A pregnant woman that's an American citizen, and protected under the constitution, is having her rights stripped away by zealots and trap laws.

    Why don't we just give her an automatic weapon and let her deal with her pregnancy how she sees fit? :blankstare:
