L.A. Times to NRA: Government’s ‘Responsibility’ To
Regulate 2nd Amendment
by AWR Hawkins20 Feb 2015
On February 19, the Los
Angeles Times reacted to the
growing momentum for Campus Carry legislation across the country by referring
to the NRA as “crackpots” and reminding the organization that it is the
government’s “responsibility to protect the public through reasonable gun
control laws.”
In other words, “shall not be infringed” does not mean shall
not be regulated and/or controlled.
According to the Times, the NRA has hit a new low
by promoting the idea that an expansion of Campus Carry means “gun-toting women
would be armed to defend themselves in the event of sexual assaults.”
The Times claims no one should be surprised by the
NRA’s position–after all, “these are the same crackpots who argued” that
students should be allowed to carry guns for self-defense following the 2007
attack on Virginia
Tech.
They are also the “same crackpots” who argued that armed
teachers could have prevented Adam Lanza from walking through a gun free zone
shooting victims at will, with no concern over retaliation from unarmed people.
Yes, by supporting the expansion of Campus Carry “the gun
lobby is showing yet again that it doesn’t belong in a serious conversation
about ending the scourge of gun violence.”
And just to drive the point home, the Times reminds
us all that “Americans have a 2nd Amendment right to own guns, but it’s not an
absolute right.”
