Description: A quick Google search will find dozens of quotes by our nation's founders stating that owning a gun is not only a right but a responsibility for good citizens. Only a flat-out revisionist would deny that the Second Amendment guarantees our right to own a gun(s) and that any attempt by the government to take them away from us or even REQUIRE us to register or license them is profoundly unconstitutional.
Here's our proposal for gun control (besides aiming well):
1. Offer as an elective in high school a gun safety and use course. Anyone who passes the course is given a gun use license. That license in no way grants the holder permission to own and use a gun - that is already a right secured by the Second Amendment. It simply verifies that they have been trained and are eligible to progress to steps 2 and 3 (below) if they wish.
2. Another license is available, and encouraged, with necessary additional training, to carry a concealed hand gun. People who get this license are encouraged to carry their gun with them as much as possible. We want to have as many "Denny Cranes" out and about as possible.
3. A third license - with rigorous training - would be issued to people who are deputized by their state to function in a law-enforcement capacity. They would be allowed to go beyond mere self-defense and could actually intervene where a crime is being committed and no police are on the scene.
What say you?
