The U.S. Supreme Court has been hard at work, ensuring that all Americans have the right the own handguns.
Of course, with fifty million potential gunshot wound victims without health insurance, one would think that the Founding Fathers might have anticipated the need for a universal right to healthcare in the Constitution too, no?
Sad to say that as much as I used to believe in it – gun control hasn't been proven in the US at least to solve anything. Look at Chicago with it's "restrictive" hand-gun laws (ie, impossible to own one within city borders). Highest crime rate in the country. Sadly, it deals more with the people and social issues than the guns.
I'll second that, gun control never seems to do much of anything when it comes to keeping guns out of the hands of the wrong people.
