Let's salvage the VT thread; Gun Control

[kahljorn]

i like the entire idea of more guns in the hands of responsible people who should have them and less guns in those that dont and that's probably the only thing to it that's why i thought concealed permits being required for a gun that can really only be used as a concealed weapon would be useful. aren't most crimes committed with pistols, because they are concealable?

not that i don't understand the NRA wouldn't want that

Well in any case, the Second Amendment has yet to be applied to the States via the Fourteenth Amendment. No court case has come up yet; States could get by with banning arms.

If you don't know what the hell I'm talking about, the Bill of Rights only applies to the national government. The provisions of the Bill of Rights have only been applied to States post-Fourteenth Amendment through a process known as incorporation.

District of Columbia tried to ban arms this year but the court shot it down.
