Just recently I posted a blog about the 2nd Amendment and the importance of a case out of D.C. that the Supreme Court recently heard arguments about: Heller v. D.C. It was obvious from the comments that we all have differing beliefs and values where all of the rights we have that are recognized in the Bill of Rights are concerned. The definition of the word “reasonable” comes into play and tempers can flare. In this week’s article I’m going to attempt to address my personal beliefs about the 2nd Amendment, but I’m going to do so from a particularly odd angle: I’m going to pretend that the 2nd Amendment never existed.
Now I know this will be a difficult undertaking, but please bare with me. What I’m going to discuss is common sense gun legislation as I view it without the impact of the 2nd Amendment. I know this is an impossible reality because the 2nd Amendment does exist. I’m more than okay with that. I LIKE the 2nd Amendment. I’m very pro-gun. What I have a problem with is the inundation of wasted laws that do nothing but allow politicians to say, “See? I tried to make a difference.”
