LET US TALK, ONLY !! ...YHe said that laws that established gun-free school zones have had the effect of telling “every insane killer in America that schools are the safest place to inflict maximum mayhem with minimum risk.”

LaPierre said America has left its schoolchildren “utterly defenseless -- and the monsters and the predators of the world know it and exploit it.”

I hate to say this, but maybe the problem is, the wrong people are getting shot. If the Rush Limbaughs of the world were silenced (or just take away their microphones), there would be a lot less hate, animosity and fear-induced craziness out there. We can't have a sane discussion when half the population is listening to insanity. Freedom of speech was meant to mean a soapbox and a standup rant in the public square, not millions of listeners based on 'profits'. The Second Amendment was about the ability to call together a militia in short order when the local or federal government needed it, and this was out of the local men who all used rifles for food-hunting purposes. I doubt the Founding Fathers envisioned an arsenal in every bedroom and nuclear weapons scattered throughout the world. Things have changed markedly since 1776, the worst change being that our own government and media now thinks they can lie to us and steal from us with impunity. Sorry, but the Big Experiment in Democracy is over unless we put a halt to the nutjobs, crazies, hacks and thieves.
