When we as a country give up our rights to those who infringe and tread on them out of grieving sympathy, weakens our nation as a whole.
No law abiding and worthy citizen of the United States should have to cower and coddle to the criminal element. Those citizens who live in fear of the criminal minded gangs and the lawmen who are on the front line of public defense know full well that should this country outlaws guns, only outlaws will have guns. All of us grieve for the children and innocent people who are violated and made to surrender their lives at the hands of villains pointing and shooting at innocent people. I grieve.
Do not send us out into the open unarmed, when it is our right to keep and bear arms. It is not the guns that are doing the killing of innocent children and we all know that.
What is the answer in my opinion? Tougher enforcement on the criminals who use guns! Punishment, to a degree that would deter any thought of using a gun to commit a violent crime!
Amendment II
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."+1 http://www.ratical.org/co-globalize/BillOfRights.html
