I'm sure you've already heard, but thought I'd post a link reinforcing the point that the police cannot be expected to be everywhere to protect people from shooting incidents or any other malady. 45 minutes after the shooting is just cleanup. People must act to protect themselves. news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090405/ap_on_re_us/binghamton_shootings

No, they just need to take away all the guns from people. If they can't do that, then they should have specific licenses like they do for fully automatic weapons. Communist countries like China where no one has guns don't have these kind of problems. The Second Ammendment, if you read the context, is just about the rights of people to form militias. Was I brain-washed while in China

If we lived an armed society, we would be living a more polite society; otherwise, we would be better off going to war to rid our society of this vermin. The Police can't doing anything, the Judges only lets the criminals back on the street, and the liberal politicians wants to make new laws designed to protect the criminals. Whatever called it, This Nation is very close to taking arms against our enemies. Perhaps this what the framers of the Constitution and The Bill Rights meant the say. "District of Columbia v. Heller" The Attorneys and Associate Justices also discussed the use of the word "Arms" in reference to The Right To Keep And Bear Arms.
When used in the preamble, as they referred to in maintaining a an Organized Militia, they also presented the position that "Arms" was in reference to Military Weapons.
I thought "Arms" was considered to be the language, at the time of our founding fathers, when referring to Firearms. I then wondered how "Arms" was introduced into our own language; so, I looked up the translations for Weapons.Weapon : Any Tool Used For Fighting
Translations for: Weapon
Dansk (Danish) n. - v'ben v. tr. - armere, gribe til v?ben
Fran?ais (French) n. - (lit, fig) arme v. tr. - armer
Italiano (Italian) arma
Portugu?s (Portuguese) n. - arma (f), defesa (f)
Espa?ol (Spanish) n. - arma, proyectil v. tr. - armar
I then looked up some quotes from some of our founding fathers, on their use, and application for "Arms" when referring to Civilians."No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms". Thomas Jefferson
"Arms in the hands of citizens may be used at individual discretion... in private self-defense". John Adams
After listening to the oral arguments, from these Attorneys, I'm convinced that the Supreme Court acted entirely on their own, in ruling on this case. The vote was 5 to 4, therefore, I feel there are 4 Justices on The Supreme Court who would have been hung at another time in this nation's history.I am DoubleAction And I Approved This Message.
