[QUOTE="DavidMcmillan, post: 3114852, member: 11749"] Tony, we live in a society of rules and regulations because as a society we are lacking in self-control. Virtually every, if not all, laws and regulations were put in place because of that fault in human nature. 2A is very important, but so is the rest of the constitution, and the "shall not be infringed" also applies to life. We are not the only segments of our society, and those we call "anti's" have just as strong a position in this nation as we do. Right now, their side has a pretty strong case. We have shootings everyday, mainly by people who should not have access to weapons for various reasons. When "school" shootings are reported, strong emotions are created because we all love our children, and their right to life shall not be infringed either. Politicians, whether we like them or not, make their decisions hopefully based on what they believe is the right thing for society. More often than not, those decisions are based on what they believe is the majority view, so they can be reelected. Rights are a "big deal" and rights also carry responsibilities. We have to work within the system, just as the other side does. It was very encouraging to see so many here calling, emailing, and in many cases visiting in person in efforts to move the bill the way we wanted. We have to do more of that. But the thing we cannot do is to act like what we are portrayed as in the media so often. We must be respectful, and appear that we are responsible. Excess testosterone is not our friend! [/QUOTE]
