The new horizon of gun control, Part 3. Military style weapons
by Jazz Shaw
December 20, 2012
In the first two entries of this four part series
A Violent Society and The Black Hole of Mental Health we examined the first pair of the three part reasonable discussion currently being offered by those seeking new and immediate gun control laws. They involve the nuanced, oh so helpful sounding approach to curtailing mass shootings such as we witnessed last week in Newtown, Connecticut. The third leg of this particular stool will be the heaviest lift for those still concerned with their civil liberties, so I advise you to fasten your seat-belts before we proceed. Some truths can be hard to speak during such dark times, but their veracity is not diminished one bit. Today we will discuss the argument being put forth by these concerned citizens wherein they assure us that they love the Second Amendment they dont want to deter your right to go hunting they simply dont see why you should legally be entitled to Military Style Weapons.
But first, another brief update on the evolving media circus surrounding this rapidly building tsunami. If you dont think that youll be facing the sympathy card on this front, do not be deceived. Just look who the Democrats are lining up to make their case.
During an emotional news conference announcing their new focus on gun control, House Democrats put forth several members personally affected by gun violence, including Rep. Ron Barber (D-Ariz.), who took a seat in Congress after being shot and wounded alongside former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) in Jan. 2011; Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.), whose husband was killed and son severely wounded in the December 1993 shooting on a Long Island Railroad commuter train; Rep. James Langevin (D-R.I.), who has had to use a wheelchair since age 16 after being wounded in an accidental shooting; and Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.), whose 29-year old son was killed in a 2009 shooting.
