Oh Sweetness...DON'T take this thread the wrong way!
I am not saying we should take away the right to bear arms! I'm saying (and I chant/justify/tediously verify) that there has got to be SOMETHING done in this country about the high crime rate caused by illegal and easily accessible firearms. In order to hunt down these murderers there has got to be a way to process where the bullet came from. If nobody cracks down on illegal firearms there will never be a way to bring down "the bad guy".
Just recently we had a 14y/o boy killed for nothing more than his dirt bike. Drive by shootings are rampant! Children are getting killed while sitting on their front porch or even in their home as a stray bullet, meant for a drug dealer, pierces the frail walls of their meager houses and kills them instantly.
This...not our rights as upstanding citizens...is being challenged! How can we help? How can we save an innocent life while still protecting our rights? *shakes head*
There has got to be a way!
