Thread Name: BS: Guns & laws in the US
Subject: RE: BS: Guns & laws in the US
100,000 Americans will be shot in 2012 by other Americans with handguns...

America has the highest per capital murder rate of any civilized industrialized nation in the world...

Yet, we aren't allowed to have this conversation because those who ***profit*** from the sales of handguns have enough money to out-shout any sensible, adult conversation about guns because, in their very narrow view, the 2nd amendment says so...

Problem is that the 2nd amendment says no such thing... It is a single sentence and ***not*** two... That meas it has a subject and a predicate... The subject of the amendment is "well regulated militia" and everything else, including the "right to bare arms" is in the predicate... But basic English doesn't enter into either the NRA or the Supreme Clowns thinking because of the $$$ and power of the NRA...

So we don't have that sensible, adult conversation...

And the beat goes on... As well as the carnage...
