@RanWiz: Your statement about the word, “Regulated,” is deceptive. Let’s be clear about this. The word “regulated” is used in relation to a well regulated Militia, NOT in regard to regulation of arms: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Regulations of arms is an infringement.

Notice it does not say, “… the right of the army to keep and bear arms.” It says, “… the right of the PEOPLE…” [emphasis added] It is obvious from this that the word Militia does not refer to the army, but to the armed populace that are to be trained and at the ready.

Regulating the arms of law-abiding citizens is an infringement. And we, the People, have been putting up with infringements of our 2nd Amendment-enumerated rights for far too long.

Furthermore, your statement, “If the ‘pro-gun’ lobby does not accept reasonable positions then eventually additional erosion of proper gun rights will occur,” is ludicrous. Accepting “reasonable positions” is THE VERY THING that is allowing further erosion of the rights of the people.

To say that current regulations are insufficent is like saying America just needs a little more poison to get well. Current regulations such as gun-free zones are not reasonalbe and don’t work. No more poison for me.
