Apparently not, according to some, when being a victim impinges on the welfare of others’ lives, such as in the case of teachers and their students. The right NOT to bear arms may not apply here.Everyone has the right to be a victim.
Because of their role* in loco parentis*, teachers have a de facto duty to protect the lives of the children that they supervise. They may have a right to be victim, but they don’t have the right to turn their charges into victims.
Why don’t you understand free people naturally resist infringements on their liberties?
Your nation bans heroin, yet has the the highest rates of heroin abuse in Europe no?
Using heroin as a example doesn’t add to the debate as there is not another country that has legalised the use of this substance. I already stated that the cultures of our countries differ but from this side of the pond most of us just don’t get this fascination with lethal weaponry and the need to have them
Respect my choice not to live in a world where I have to be concerned about getting caught in the crossfire of people who believe it’s an infringement on their right to require proper registration, training, etc. Gun rights have infringed on many Americans, who had a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They’ve lost all those rights, but they won’t complain from the grave.
Wrong. Portugal has decriminalized ALL drugs.
WHat most people don’t realize is that Wayne Pierre was giving the liberals what they want. He is basically saying, “Fine, you want to disarm the country and make your Utopian gun free zones, which are a miserable failure, so…in order to keep our children safe from violent criminals, we suggest you put armed guards and police EVERYWHERE.”
What happened to the America I grew up in? We had a pride and thankfulness in being lucky enough to be born in this country. Now it seems it’s a matter of convenience to use that country has a reason to necessitate owning all types of guns, because we’re being terrorized by the government.
Actually, that’s pretty much been the case since 1791.
Perhaps if you review just how our country was founded and if you understand our constitution and the Federalist Papers that inspired it, you might have a better understanding of why we have the right to bear arms in this country. Just because a few mentally ill people engage in the improper use of such weapons is no reason to ban their ownership and use by law abiding citizens.
You don’t have to buy a gun, but there’s not much that can be done about getting caught in a crossfire with or without a gun ban.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
What happened to this country? It has been taken over by big-government, Progressive statists who think the average American is a moron that needs to be dependent on the government.
