i am not angry, i am frustrated. people need to stop letting the meidia get their emotions all worked up and really look at the problem. making guns or hi capacity magazines or whatever illegal is not going to stop a criminal from commiting a crime. we protect our money with armed guards, we protect our leaders with armed guards. i think as a father of 4 i would be willing to pay to gaurd my most cherished valuables with armed guards. If anyone has a better solution i would love to hear it. i would also love to not hear about how more guns are not the answer because when we gaurd everything else in our lives that we value with an armed gaurd what does it say about how we value our children when we dont gaurd them at least as well as our money.

civil discourse or not, it is important to keep historical context in mind when referring to the intentions of the founders. in the federalist papers, specifically #29 the well regulated militia is defined. they do say that the common man is not a member of the militia. however, they very plainly state that each person should be armed and capable. also, keep in mind what the founding fathers were dealing with when they wrote the constitution and the bill of rights. they had just won a hard fought war to win their freedom from a tyranical king that was imposing his will on this country. they wrote the bill of rights because they knew that the system they outlined in the constitution ws still subject to the coruption that is inherent in men. the bill of rights outlines the rights that we have that cant be taken from us by the government.

go read the federalist papers. maybe if you paid a little more attention in history class it would keep you from sounding so foolish in a public forum.
