Sense And Sensibility

More 'sensible' and 'common sense' talk from American political masters.

It's all been settled before you even knew it.

"Many guns rights advocates argue that the Second Amendment grants an absolute right to bear the arms of their choice without reservation or restriction. This argument finds no support in our constitutional history. Not one of our constitutional rights may be exercised with impunity. All rights must be exercised responsibly. There is no rational basis or legal authority for the proposition that the right to bear any and all weapons in any and all designated places is intended to be absolute.
----

More steps can and should be taken to ensure that our communities, both in Montana and across the nation, are safer by making sure that the guns do not fall into the hands of those who will misuse them. I support President Barack Obama’s call for a ban on assault weapons and requiring universal background checks for anyone buying a gun. The ban on military-style assault weapons, which was previously in effect until 2004, needs to be restored and magazine capacity needs to be limited to 10 rounds."

Basically, if I understand this, rights can be revoked at any time by the state.

Nice.

Scary.

But nice.
