re: Guns &Ammo editorial supports gun control

What he asks is for the government to oversee and give us permission to use the Bill of Rights once we have demonstrated we are responsible enough to have them. This is not a right, but a privilege, exactly like a driver's license - which he references.

The article also fundamentally misunderstands the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. They were drafted to place constraints upon the government, not the individual.

Nail on the head!

It boils down to one simple idea: your fundamental rights come from God, or your fundamental rights come from your government. Mr. Metcalf believes that they come from government and argues accordingly.

Amen!

maybe the moderates here can understand that...

the way I see it...whoever want to subject themselves to new regulations and have their God Given Rights become just a privilege, should just sign a paper allowing the government to do so for "THEM ONLY"

fools give up their freedoms/rights for a false sense of security...they deserve neither!
