[QUOTE]Originally posted by rounder1: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by raybond: [qb] just a matter od time glass and everybody will have to register and have a background check its not taking your rights away just criminals rights and we feel as a society we can do that to criminals. [/qb][/QUOTE]I am sure that I will be called a fool for what I am about to type and possibly rightfully so; nevertheless, it is honest sentiment on my part. I don't think that we should take the right to bear arms from anyone. Granted, I understand that people will mention felons, mentally ill, etc... But ultimately you either believe that rights are issued by the government at birth or they are endowed by the creator (whomever one deems that to be). Personally I believe the latter. Subsequently, I cannot reconcile that the a lower power should circumvent a higher power. I realize most of the arguments that can be made against my thoughts and I do not contend that useless tragedy would not occur because it still would....always will. But strict adherence to solid principles would move society to a better place as a whole. Consider the reason for the Bill Of Rights. It is more than just protections for citizens. It was meant to be a set of principles to guide our society. Principles are meant to be walls. When you run into a wall you change course because the wall is hard fast proof that you are trying to go in the wrong direction. The prudent man will accept that he was on the wrong heading and then turn and challenge the factors that ran him into the wall in the first place. The ignorant man will try to compromise the wall even though it has served to protect him for centuries. We are all guilty of compromising principles at times...How often do hear someone reflect "Man, I sure am glad that I compromised my principles. That worked out well for me."? [/QB][/QUOTE]
