2 Year old killed by gunfire in Minneapolis. [View all]
I've known a lot of hunters and even belonged to a gun club once, but quit because of the required NRA membership rule. This was many years ago and I currently have an old muzzle loader around somewhere and the powder and the bullets somewhere. Give me 2-3 days and I might be able to round them up. I know that there are decent people who own guns and love to hunt. I certainly felt safe around the gun club crowd. There was a time when I was a very good shot, but then I got bored with the whole thing. Whatever, it should be obvious to the most casual of observers that the gun has got to go.I'm sick of hearing about "rights" and the Constitution. After all, the Constitution is what the courts say it is. As any lawyer knows, the last place to look for Constitutional law is the Constitution. Where are the rights of the 2 year old in this? Where are the rights of the young man murdered at 6 am on Sunday morning 2 blocks from me? This latest outrage happened about 2-3 miles from my house. the police shooting that made the big news happened in an area I drive through all the time. No "sportsman" needs more than a single shot, and their weren't many repeaters until after the civil war. The carnage of the Civil War attest they can do the job. As for me I think it's time the gunners find a new hobby. It isn't as if their wasn't other things to do. I think the current proposed legislation is useless and we need to change the culture to make guns unacceptable .http://www.twincities.com/2016/07/10/2-year-old-fatally-shot-in-minneapolis-lived-in-st-paul/
