These simple rules should be promoted by the government, until citizens begin to practice the responsibilities of their right. One of my high school friends, normally mellow, became enraged during an argument with a neighbor. He rushed into the house, running back outside with his rifle.

Fumbling with a lock or a combo will keep your weapons foolproof if you're drunk enough to be missing time. The media should be held to standards about their portrayal of this basic constitutional right. Television and radio are broadcast on public airwaves, the commonly held ether. They owe their profits and power to their use of this commons and should be required to educate as well as entertain. Their greed being cloaked by the First Amendment is as wrong as corporations being granted the rights of citizens without equal responsibilities.
