Doesn't make any sense to me either. Especially since there were some upthread who said that taking someone's guns away in part because of statements they made was a violation of the First Amendment. Obviously, the exact same would be true for throwing him in jail for the making of those statements as well.
Maybe that’s why some people call gun owners and enthusiasts, gun nuts. To non gun owners, they seem almost to worship unfettered access to guns, above every consideration of a gun’s potential—in the wrong hands—to visit unspeakable carnage on innocent people at school, at work or at a busy market.
The gun is a tool. I have lots of tools. I use my tools. I like my tools. But, they’re just tools. A gun however, is a tool that comes with a great responsibility and an even greater potential for harm—again, if in the wrong hands.
A home grown Islamic terrorist, someone on the edge of sanity, a disgruntled, agitated or threatening employee, an 18-year-old acting out violently, an anarchist or subversive advocating violent overthrow of the government; If these types of people own guns, there should be a codified, due-process way to legally challenge that ownership.
