You'd be shocked by the amount of firepower you can buy - 50 caliber sniper rifles and the same shotguns the Marines carry in Iraq or Afghanistan.

“Our current gun culture simply ensures that more and more domestic disputes will end in the ultimate tragedy, and that more convenience-store confrontations over loud music coming from a car will leave more teenage boys bloodied and dead... What I believe is, if he [Belcher] didn’t possess/own a gun, he and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive today... Handguns do not enhance our safety. They exacerbate our flaws, tempt us to escalate arguments, and bait us into embracing confrontation rather than avoiding it.” IfsBelieveEndsTodayCultureI BelieveBoysAliveCarGunArgumentUltimateTragedySafetyCurrentsStoresLoudFlawsAvoidingTeenageDisputesConvenienceConfrontationLive For TodayBaitHandgunsLoud MusicGun Culture Author:Bob Costas

“I disagreed with the way the court applied the Second Amendment in Heller's case, because what the District of Columbia was trying to do was to protect toddlers from guns and so they wanted people with guns to safely store them. And the court didn't accept that reasonable regulation, but they've accepted many others. So I see no conflict between saving people's lives and defending the Second Amendment.” PeopleWayTryingWantedAcceptingCasesProtectConflictGunCourtStoresAcceptedSavingReasonableAmendmentsRegulationSecond AmendmentColumbiaToddler Author:Hillary Clinton
“That's a point that Dan Ellsberg has made for years. He said it's kind of like if you and I go into a grocery store to rob it, and I have a gun. The guy may give you the money in the cash register.
