If the reason for any law was to save lives , then the first one would be directed towards Doctors (500,000 doctors kill 100,000 people a year). Second one would towards autos (you can check the Stats) You can lay a load handgun or rifle on a table and it will hurt no one. This being America, everyone has the right to their own opinions. The Founding Fathers wrote the Bill of Rights & the Constitution. Not to be interpreted to suit a contrasting purpose against the rights of the people. Oh what was that phrase ..."the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
The "FOUNDERS" new what power hungry politicans would do.
FEDERALISTS PAPERS #84
"I go further, and affirm that bills of rights, in the sense and to the
extent in which they are contended for, are not only unnecessary
in the proposed Constitution, but would even be dangerous. They
would contain various exceptions to powers not granted; and, on
this very account, would afford a colorable pretext to claim more
than were granted. For why declare that things shall not be done
which there is no power to do? Why, for instance, should it be
said that the liberty of the press shall not be restrained, when no
power is given by which restrictions may be imposed? I will not
contend that such a provision would confer a regulating power;
but it is evident that it would furnish, to men disposed to usurp, a
plausible pretense for claiming that power. They might urge with a
semblance of reason, that the Constitution ought not to be
charged with the absurdity of providing against the abuse of an
authority which was not given, and that the provision against
restraining the liberty of the press afforded a clear implication,
that a power to prescribe proper regulations concerning it was
intended to be vested in the national government. This may serve
as a specimen of the numerous handles which would be given to
the doctrine of constructive powers, by the indulgence of an
injudicious zeal for bills of rights. "
"For the first time, a federal judge has ruled that
the Second Amendment guarantees an individuals'
right to own a gun. In the process, the judge
invalidated a 1994 federal law that denies guns to
anyone who is under a restraining order to
prevent him or her from harassing a spouse. The
law was part of a measure aimed at reducing
domestic violence by limiting access to guns."
"It is not the function of the
government to keep the citizen
from falling into error; it is the
function of the citizen to keep the
government from falling into
error."- U.S. Supreme Court -339
U.S. 382, 447
"Firearms stand next in importance to the
Constitution itself. They are the American people's
liberty teeth and keystone under independence. To
ensure peace, security, and happiness, the rifle
and pistol are equally indispensable. The very
atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil
interference . . . " ~George Washington~
Cops Support Your Right to Keep & Bear Arms
More recently, in 1982 (Bowers v. DeVito), the
Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit held, "...there is
no Constitutional right to be protected by the state
against being murdered by criminals or madmen. It
is monstrous if the state fails to protect its
residents... but it does not violate... the
Constitution." Later court decisions concurred: the
police have no duty to protect you.
More SUPREME COURT RULINGS.
Boyd v. United States, 116 US 616: "The Court is to
protect against any encroachment of
constitutionally secured rights (liberty)."
Miranda v. Arizona, 384 US 436: "Where rights
(liberty) secured by the Constitution are involved,
there can be no legislation which would abrogate
(abolish) them."
Norton v. Shelby County, 118 US 425: "An
unconstitutional act is not law; it confers no
rights; it imposes no duties; affords no
protection; it creates no office; it is in legal
contemplation as though it had never been
passed."
"The strength of the Constitution
lies entirely in the determination of
each citizen to defend it. Only if
every single citizen feels duty
bound to do his share in this
defense are constitutional rights
secure." Albert Einstein

"The Constitution is a radical document...it is the
job of the government to rein in people's rights." - President W.J.Clinton on MTV - 1992
- President William Jefferson Clinton - March 22,
1994 -"When we got organized as a country and we
wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill
of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual
freedom to Americans. And so a lot of people say
there's too much personal freedom. When personal
freedom's being abused, you have to move to limit
it. That's what we did in the announcement I made
last weekend on the public housing projects, about
how we're going to have weapon sweeps and
more things like that to try to make people safer in
their communities."
