High powered, rapid fire weapons, be they rifles or hand guns, are not needed by hunters or citizens.

Tragically they are used over and over again at schools, churches, malls, entertainment venues, work places and even military bases to kill people. It was only in 2008 in Justice Antonin Scalia’s 5-4 Supreme Court opinion that it was determined for the first time in our country’s history that the Second Amendment provided protection for the individual’s right to own guns.

In his majority opinion he also stated that the Constitution leaves the government many tools for combating the problems of gun violence including regulation.  The Second Amendment must stop being a political game. It is no game when people are dying daily from gun violence!  We should hold higher the rights of our children and grandchildren to live than anyone’s right to own an assault weapon.

To quote President John F. Kennedy...”Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past, let us accept our own responsibility for the future. “
