Clearly after the Alabama incident assault weapons and handguns NEED to removed from the streets for the safety of the people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7232400533644627677.post-92198447939943112822009-03-12T16:59:00.000-04:002009-03-12T16:59:00.000-04:00I am currently doing a research project on the sec...I am currently doing a research project on the second amendment, and after reviewing several books on both sides of the issue, reading several magazine and newspaper articles, and also going to both this and the NRA site i can only conclude that guns are simply tools just like a drill or a car. A tool with a specific purpose perhaps, but still a tool that can be used for violence, defense, or even as a means to provide sport entertainment and food. What i cannot decide (and also what i feel the real issue should be) is can people be trusted with such a tool. Is man as a whole too stupid to handle the responsibility of such powerful machines, or does the population of the world have more people who are responsible thinking people who are able to act with discretion? I think I'll probably finish my paper on a different topic because this one is thoroughly confusing and brings up much more philosophically than just guns or no gunsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7232400533644627677.post-12177386734579432852009-03-11T19:54:00.000-04:002009-03-11T19:54:00.000-04:00Extremes whether of thoughts or actions tend to cl...Extremes whether of thoughts or actions tend to cloud rational considerations or just plain common sense.
