What we need to talk about is how we limit the number of gun deaths in this country.
Overall, just 23% of those polled think that the Second Amendment “is no longer relevant or necessary in modern-day America”. They include making sure that anybody engaged in the business of selling firearms conducts background checks, expanding access to mental health treatment and improving gun safety technology. And they are owned by a minority of Americans.
Kyle, whose husband was the subject of the movie “American Sniper” and was later murdered in a fatal shooting in the USA, said, “We’re at an all-time low for a murder rate”. One estimate is that each gun owner has 7.9 guns.
This came as the President assured the nation that he was not trying to spearhead a “conspiracy” to take away other Americans’ constitutional right to purchase firearms. That is homicides, suicides and accidents.
“First graders”, the president said.
Appearing on Fox News yesterday, Kyle remained convinced that the President’s anti-gun stance was ignorant and self-defeating. And if you look at the places where there are pretty stiff restrictions on gun ownership, the crime’s dropped really quickly.
So if we continue to tighten down our gun laws in California, will it have any impact? “Because I have felt, and lived, all of these things, I have spent much time thinking about evil, freedom and not only the world we live in, but the country too”.
“It should be to keep them out of the hands of criminals and mentally disturbed people”. We have all adjusted well to the seat-belt law, airbags, and laws against drunken driving and, in some states, texting in a auto.
Most law enforcement agencies are supportive of stronger registration requirements because they realize the information it produces can help them in their work. History will see him as one of the least interventionist US Presidents when it comes to using the veto or resorting to executive action.
He also addressed the gun industry and pointed out the drawbacks of the strong lobby that they have created in the Congress, which saves them from accountability and also allows lives to be exploited everyday. We can do it with our cellphones.

“Ultimately, this is about all of us”.
