i agree with lots of what you said, except im one of those "shall not be infringed" in the strictest sense types. im not really willing to compromise, mainly because (like the ben franklin meme) disarming law abiding citizens does not protect law abiding citizens.

also another good one was "if we ban guns, nobody will get shot. that's how we stopped everyone from doing drugs."

basically, criminals do not follow laws. Murder is already illegal, and if theyre willing to risk that sentence/consequences, a gun ban wouldn't even make a blip on their radar.

i digress, sorry about that.

regarding the Cruz kid, im not as informed on him as most. i do believe i read that the FBI was informed that he was talking about bringing guns to school, and threatening others. I'd get behind prosecuting him for communicating a threat. i cant really say i'd get behind taking his guns...... people never stop to think that might really piss him off, cause him to buy a stolen weapon from tyrone, and carry out his shooting anyway. I can't get behind locking him up for being creepy (like the ERPO guy in washington) but i can get behind it if he communicated credible threats.

Sorry for being so pissy yesterday, i've just become increasingly frustrated at the gun-grabbing. ANY new gun grabbing only takes them out of the hands of law abiding citizens. I feel like it's not going to help with the number of deaths at all-- i think it's just going to create criminals out of normal people who refuse to compromise on their 2nd amendment rights.

I can see the in the strictest sense side, because it makes the grab easier. On the other hand, that can become an argument for stripping ALL rights instead just the 2A. It's a real problem with no easy solutions.
