I agree completely. Instead of working with those that will use this to further strip us of our rights, why not both fight this and work to do away with all unconstitutional gun laws. If a person is legitimately unable to responsibly own and carry a gun then they need to be hospitalized or imprisoned. Why punish everyone else to control those who have problems or are criminals? We the people and our government servants must stop looking at the people of this country as a single entity. Punish those who are guilty, help those who need help, and leave the rest of us alone to live our lives in peace and freedom.KBCraig wrote:I admit to being utterly confused about whether the NRA or GOA are right about this bill. That in itself proves what the problem is: trying to "fix" bad laws by tinkering.
The right approach is to repeal bad laws. Otherwise, you get more and more laws piled on top of laws, getting longer and more complicated.
This approach by the NRA is a prime example why we need the GOA and other more absolute minded groups. I support the NRA but, I don't want to compromise one more thing. Compromise, for the purpose of civility or political correctness, is the reason we enjoy only a shadow of our rights now. That is my opinion.
