Where does it say that it will ever make sense to not have some controls on weapons that kill. The single biggest problem with the illegal use of handguns is that we are not using the laws already in place as a deterant to crimes committed with guns. Anyone caught with a stolen gun, or who uses a gun in the commission of a crime should get the maximum penalty. Every high school child should take a class in safety that includes basic training in firearms. The right to own and use firearms is one of the foundations of the American way of life and should never be changed.
Tolerance is the key word here.
I have total tolerance for the beliefs of others. I have complete tolerance that any citizen may do many things as long as they hurt no one in the process. I have little tolerance for those who would abuse anyone who disagrees with them or believes differently. To me, it is only the lowest of cowards who would abuse someone physically or mentally in order to try to persuade that individual to adopt some idea, religion, or concept that they hold dear. Here is one area where I feel we can do more.
