Two bloody tragedies, just a few hours apart on December 28-29—the mass stabbings at a synagogue in Monsey, New York, and the thwarted mass shooting at a church in Forth Worth, Texas—have put questions about guns and public safety in a valuable new light. How do we stay safe? Especially in our houses of worship? And what should we do about the menace of marauders in our midst?
Yet at the same time, we could also say that the New York and Texas attacks put the public safety issue in a valuable old light. How so? Because we are seeing the right of each state to make its own decisions—for better or for worse, as the case might be—as enshrined in our founding document, the U.S. Constitution.

The states cannot make "its own decisions " contrary

They can as long as the public lets them. It doesn't matter how many stipulations and prohibitions are put on the government so long as no one stops them from ignoring them they will. Originally Posted by red442joe

I totally agree. Anyone who is currently incarcerated should not be able to be in possession of a gun. Originally Posted by JohnJak

How about we take them away from all politicians and their body guards. Originally Posted by JohnJak

Elected by unions but all for open borders and unlimited H-1B Visas that cause the price of labor to plummet and destroy unions. Originally Posted by langenc
