How’s this: We ban abortions, but not guns. Good luck trying to repeal the Second amendment. There’s nothing in the Constitution about abortion, but there IS language about guns. It ain’t easy amending the Constitution. I don’t like the idea of altering the BILL OF RIGHTS at all. If we change the Second, and how long before someone wants/tries to change the First? Gun ownership in and of itself is NOT immoral.
The right of private ownership is needed for three VERY good reasons…:
- To defend our homes and persons who have guns.
- In the event of an invasion from a foreign power.
- To keep our own govenment honest.
If I may expand on # 1… When every second counts, the police are only minutes away…
