Again, as this post by a Hamilton grad shows these laws entangle the law abiding and are flouted by criminals and liberal news anchors.<br /><br />http://legalinsurrection.com/2012/12/the-importance-of-prosecuting-david-gregory-if-he-violated-d-c-s-gun-law/<br /><br /><br />Are we to prosecute David Gregory? If not, why? Is he less dangerous than any other (otherwise) law abiding citizen with an AR-15 magazine?<br /><br /><br /><br />jjvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04223110296462634454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19078641.post-17712168679647362182012-12-25T16:27:14.163-05:002012-12-25T16:27:14.163-05:00Whatever one thinks of the scope of the Second Ame...Whatever one thinks of the scope of the Second Amendment, it is ridiculous to consider the efficacy of local gun control when it is easily circumvented by simply going across state lines and acquiring weapons. As well as the difficulty of dealing with all of the guns legally already in circulation. <br /><br />The massive toll of human lives that firearms take is a heavy price to pay to be able to call out a well-regulated militia. I am also deeply skeptical that most Founders felt the arms born by the people were to defend them from the national government. Sedition and treason laws were on the books early, and George Washington did not hesitate to use force of arms to put down insurrection. <br /><br />LaPierre is a joke. Even the New York Post called him out, and when the NRA loses the NYP you know tgey've jumped the shark.
