<DIV>Back in 1789 a rifle was a single-shot musket that took ten minutes to reload.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The rifle used to fire on the children of Sandy Hook Elementary School was a semi-automatic AR-15 fed by a 90-round drum (as identified by the Connecticut State Police), capable of firing all 90 rounds in one minute or less.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Do you really believe that our founding fathers foresaw this when they adopted the second amendment?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I support the second amendment, but NOT the sale or possession of assault rifles.</DIV>

<div class=yiv366731240MsoNormal>I liked the chart showing car regulations next to gun regulations. I am no lawyer, but I’ll bet that much of the sticky points on such comparisons come down to the fact that guns are in the Constitution as a *<B>right</B>*, but driving is a *<B>privilege</B>* , which is a different kettle of fish. A lot of people don’t realize this about driving, and assume that it is ‘our right to drive.’ Nope.</div>
<div class=yiv366731240MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=yiv366731240MsoNormal>So, I would like to start a campaign to repeal the 2<SUP><SPAN id=misspell-4 class=mark>nd</SPAN></SUP> Amendment. It might take a while, but we could do it. I’m not saying people <SPAN id=misspell-5 class=mark>shouldn</SPAN>’t be able to have guns. Let’s just make it like driving a car… a privilege. </div>
<div class=yiv366731240MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=yiv366731240MsoNormal>And don’t give me those goofy complaints like we need guns because ‘what if we’re invaded by the Russians’ … or ‘..we might need to overthrow the government one day.’ The age of guns is over, folks.</div>
<div class=yiv366731240MsoNormal> </div>
<div class=yiv366731240MsoNormal>I don’t think many people will take kindly to my suggestion that we repeal the 2<SUP><SPAN id=misspell-6 class=mark>nd</SPAN></SUP> Amendment. So, I’ll offer a compromise solution: Make it <SPAN id=misspell-7 class=mark>ok</SPAN> to own guns, but strictly regulate the firing of guns, making it a felony to fire them. Seems reasonable to me anyway. ;-) Then, if we really ARE invaded by the Russians, go ahead and shoot. It won’t matter if everybody is committing felonies, because the Russians that will be invading won’t speak English anyway hardly and won’t know about the crazy law. Never mind.</div>
