Signpost 2 -- Abolition of private ownership of hand guns.
We all know that Americans still enjoy the right to bear arms, so this is at least one signpost (thank goodness!) that is not currently in affect!
In fact, millions of Americans would echo the sentiments of the late Charlton Heston, and would relinquish their right to own a gun only if pried "from [their] cold, dead hands."
Others argue that gun ownership should be strictly controlled in order to prevent gun accidents, crimes, and murders.
Personally, I kind of hate guns. But I am an absolute supporter of the right to own a gun. Why? Because it is a guaranteed Constitutional right, and I support the right of Americans to do as they choose as long as it does not infringe upon the life and liberty of others. Owning a gun does not equal mis-using it in crimes and murders.
It would be ridiculous for me to think I could provide a detailed and comprehensive presentation of the pro's and con's of gun rights and gun control on this post today. This is not a topic I have studied extensively in the past, and there are probably millions of people out there more qualified to write about this topic than I am.
So instead of attempting to broach this topic myself, I would like to know my readers' opinions.
What do you think about gun control and the right to bear arms?
