What do we do about this online order for 6000 rounds of ammo, an assualt rifle, an automatic handgun and a shotgun? We fill it -- cain't do no harm. Those people have rights too
Hello Neighbors,Hunting and shooting for recreation has been a big part of my 54 years of life. Skeet shooting was my first ‘video game’, and bird hunting was my first ‘first person shooter’. However, the Second Amendment reads thusly-
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
Well Regulated. That means people with firearms, particularly military grade firearms, need to be part of the community in which they live. Owners of military grade firearms, extended magazine clips, or exotic weaponry become weapons of mass destruction when they become angry, unbalanced, or fearful of their community and/or government. My state of Virginia allows gun shows at public venues where all of the federal laws get thrown out the window. No background checks, no waiting periods, pick your weapon of choice, exit to your vehicle.
This is not well regulated. The Aurora shooter bought everything he had legally. Aurora police should have recieved notification from the gun seller when that machine gun and extended clip magazines were ordered and the recipient should have had to go to the police station to make his ownership and possession of these weapons legal. I also support a yearly ‘class’ for owners of military grade weapons and ammunition so the community can make sure owners know how to use their weapons safely as well as to just get a look at who has these things.
I love to shoot guns. I do not want to have to carry one to movie theatres and restaurants in order to protect my family in those settings. Regulation is not a bad thing, and the police, given the pay, respect, and opportunity, truly are our friends. Why must we treat this issue as if we give up something by working together? Militias work together. They worked together at Concord and Lexington, and they can work together now. Respectfully,C
