I don't like guns. [View All]

But the Supreme Court ruling seems pretty unambiguous.

I am very distressed by the reaction Chicago's city government is having to the ruling.

*Assuming* guns are as much a right as voting what Chicago is doing is disgraceful.

Placing high fees smells the same as a poll tax and it means the rich get guns but the poor are screwed over...again.

How can they limit the number of guns you own? Wouldn't this be the same as saying you can only vote for a certain number of candidates per election even if you didn't get to cast a vote for every office to be held?

Taking classes? I can't imagine people being forced to take a test to vote.

Imagine paying fees or having to take classes to be allowed to print a newspaper or political ad or being allowed to attend church/synagogue/mosque.



I repeat: I don't like guns. I don't like violence and guns and violence are inextricably linked in my mind.

But throwing barriers around people's rights seems a scary practice that no responsible citizen should condone. Maybe watching the other guy's ox get gored can be amusing but your ox will be on the butcher's block soon enough if you're not careful.
