re: I'm a conflicted conservative - I'm pro gun but want more gun control

Things in this country are not as absolute as you may wish them to be.

Which in itself is part of the problem. If we could get the leftists off the gun control/ gun banning mantra, and get them to understand that the Constitution means exactly what it says, that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, then maybe we could move on to actually trying to find a way to prevent these tragedies.

Instead of fighting over whether people have the rights they have, or whether a particular weapon should be banned, or whether another law for criminals to ignore will help the situation, we could be discussing ways to actually protect our kids, the same way we protect our politicians, and our treasure, and sensitive information and facilities, and our homes and families. WITH GUNS.
