When Rights Go Wrong

 We are forced to experience what happens when people take a right to the ultimate extreme. The right to bare arms has been stretched so far that certain right wingers feel any weapon they want they should be able to own. They detest any law that would impinge on this idea. So what we end up with is the mass murder of innocents by the deranged. This don't tread on me and what I want philosophy has no place in a civilized society. There is no real need to own an assault weapon. If you wish protection a shotgun is sufficient,and the range is limited. What is desperately needed is background checks to gauge the mentality of people seeking life ending devices. We all take a test to see if we can handle a car. Car accidents kill thousands and so do guns. Easy access to weapons at gun shows needs to be stopped. I hunt but would never consider using an assault weapon to do so. Some form of gun control needs to be enacted to protect the innocent from the demented.
