>> Now a question for you...have you ever used an assault rifle like an AR 15? I had one occasion to shoot something like one. I'm not a gun nut or anything. >> Please share your thoughts on where, in an civilian environment other than a firing range, an AR15 should be used. Maybe nowhere. That simply isn't the question. The Constitution does not address where one may or may not shoot the weapons he possesses. Only that he has a right to possess them. >> I don't understand your timidity in making change in fundamental rights...a number of them have been changed since the founding of the country...e.g. right to vote. It is an important right, no doubt. But the real issue for me is that it obviously doesn't solve, or even help solve, the problem, which is clearly something else. It just isn't how complex problems are approached. And the effect would be to mask the real problem. Focusing on the gun is fundamentally stupid if you ask me. There are people in total control of these weapons. If you COULD take away the weapons (you can't, but if you could) they would simply use different weapons. People get sucked into this nonsense so easily. Same thing happened with climate change, the attacks on GMOs and vaccines, etc. This one is just more emotional.
