		<description><![CDATA[Here is an idea...given that...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...then should a crime be committed by use of a firearm, let the accused stand trial in a military court (according to the UCMJ) conducted at the state level by members of the State Guard/National Guard. No civilian (ie liberal) lawyers &amp; judges; just military officers.  Send those convicted to hard labor or in murder cases that result in conviction to a firing squad/ hanging as the command sees fit. Let gun ownership= militia membership=subject to military law in cases of criminal use of a firearm. Seems to me its about time to make certain that militia described in the Second Ammendment is &quot;well regulated&quot; when it comes to criminal misuse of firearms. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Of course it&#039;s easy, at least the way the Founders saw it.  Because they saw it as every able-bodied citizen being a part of the militia, automatically.  In other words they basically saw the whole of the citizenry as a militia, that stood as a guard against the possilbe tryanny of the central (federal governmnent).  That was their primary worry.   The Militia Act of 1792 established the standardized militia.  All Able-bodied males between the ages of 18 and 45 were required to be inlisted in the Militia.  And this Militia could be called up by the federal government, so it is the predesessor of the National Guard.

		<description><![CDATA[I do agree that one of the original concepts of the 2nd amendment was to allow it&#039;s people to defend themselves against their own government.  They had just used guns in the hands of the populace to wrench free from the &quot;tyranny&quot; of Great Britain&quot;, and they wanted to assure that the new government would be held in check by the people and the fact that they were armed.  They didn&#039;t want to supplant one set of tyrants with another.   
 
But for why people are doing this...  the world, and the US is a really crowded place right now, and we are raising children pumped full of violence from the tv, from games, books, advertisements, where it is cool to be a killer and kill.  At the very least, it desensitizes some, and plants ideas constantly.  There is a focus on sex, and love surrounded by violence, but not much gentle caring community.   
  
It seems in our recorded history that there have always been deviants, and that mental illness is a part of having a mentality.  And, we have a culture that promotes those values that people utilize to slaughter. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is the circular logic being used against guns and gun owners - 
 
There are 300 million guns owned by tens of millions of Americans who have committed no crime. 
 
There are tens of thousands of mentally ill people in America who might go postal. 
 
We cannot take away the liberties of the mentally ill because they have broken no law, therefore we must take away the liberties of the gun owners because they have broken no law. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Under the circumstances of every single massacre -or, for that matter, any murder- that has involved a rifle that posseses any of the defining characteristics of the so-called &quot;assault weapon,&quot; how does any one, or combination, of those characteristics make the rifle more dangerous than the typical semi-automatic hunting rifle? The victims better watch out for those bayonet mounts and the flash suppressors. Br-r-r-r-r!  
 
Just think of all those murderers who make sure to fix bayonets before doing their particular killing. And suppressing the flash I&#039;m sure is of paramount importance to them. Those folding stocks, well, of course they speak for themselves. And all those murders where the firearm had a grenade launcher on it, jeez. Lord protect us from those horrible pistol grips!   Detachable magazines, of course much more dangerous than the built-in ones.  I wonder where the M-1 Garand fits in this scheme. 
 
What is it about those defining characteristics that creates a compelling state interest in regulating the manufacture, sale, and purchase of such firearms?  
 
I could see an argument about those pesky high-capacity magazines, although no high-capacity magazines were used in the Connecticut school shooting, but they&#039;re not part of the definition. ]]></description>
