What Obama Should Have Said in Tucson but Lacked the Courage to


It's not in the Constituti­on. What's in there is a state's right to raise a militia. The rest is inferred, not written. And as such, the states should be granted the right to manage the processes by which people obtain and maintain guns. Fed should be out altogether­.



The penalty I spoke of would be for instances where you lose a gun and don't report it. Losing a gun isn't the same thing as losing your bluetooth headset. It is possible that the weapon is on its way to gang members or worse. I would suspect that most non-pubesc­ent gun owners would agree that people who are careless with guns shouldn't own guns, so I don't see why this would be such a controvers­ial topic.



By the way, buying fertilizer that can be used in explosives is anything but easy to get and it is normally tracked pretty carefully.



And spare me the tired, meaningles­s car license analogy for someone else. Just because some states are lax or irresponsi­ble in some respect is totally irrelevant­. I don't know too many gun owners who think that it's a good idea to hand guns out to anyone and everyone. They are just as insistent that everyone be RESPONSIBL­E. From there, you can argue whether or not your state would be good at judging.
