[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] I just don't understand this at all! It seriously makes me want to cry that we can't even get something this small and logical passed[/quote]

Because if this "small and logical" bill is passed, it is only another "small and logical" step to ban another weapon type say any rifle over 30 caliber, then the number of bullets you can have and then eventually all weapons to disarm the law-abiding population.

Taking away the rights of the citizenry rarely starts with one big sweep of legislation, it is small steps during a "crisis" where these freedoms and rights are chipped away.

We have the right to bear arms, any arms, and as many and of whatever type we want.  Period. End of discussion.   No one, no matter how pompous and big mouthed does not get to filibuster away our constitutional rights. [/quote]

I hope you are not one of the people who are saying we need to lock up terrorists and dismantle radical mosques...cuz if you are, you're hypocrisy is showing.

And no, we do not have the right to bear "any arms".  Last I checked, I'm not allowed to buy a nuclear weapon.  We already accept limitations to the rights provided in the Second Amendment...heck, we accept limitations to our First Amendment rights as well as many others.  Almost no one thinks that disallowing people from shouting "Fire" in a crowded theater is a slippery slope to censorship across the board.  Similarly, when there is overwhelming agreement that there is a strong public interest in putting some limitations on the exercise of the Second Amendment, it should be considered and we can continue to be vigilant about the Constitutional issues as well.[/quote]
