The Second Amendment

"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."

A controlled military system, being a necessity to the security of our free country, and the right of our citizens to keep and carry weapons, will not be violated. 

 I like this cartoon because comparing the gun debate to the drug debate makes it easier to understand that outlawing guns would not stop the bad guys from obtaining and using guns. (Just like making drugs illegal would not stop the drug users from obtaining drugs). The solution to gun violence in the United States is not simple, because our problems include homicide, gang violence, and suicide. But I know that simply opposing the Second Amendment altogether is not the way to go.   

I know there are plenty of people that think Obama and/or Hillary Clinton want to take guns away from their owners. I chose this video because I believe there are constitutional ways to make it harder for dangerous people to get their hands on guns, while still respecting the rights of responsible gun owners.
