| Description |
A billboard seen on the Massachusetts Turnpike near Fenway Park, with some sobering statistics on gun violence and their effect on children. While the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution establishes bearing of arms as a basic right of citizens, continuing viability of gun ownership is heavily dependent on the responsible use of the rights. With more and more political extremists hanging everything on the Second Amendment (too often at the expense of other constitutional rights and guarantees) and even calling for "Second Amendment Remedies" against a democratically elected President simply because he is "foreign born and Muslim" (he is neither, sorry), gun violence is becoming more and more real and out of control. The 2010 midterm elections, which installed many Tea Party types into various positions of power nationwide, led the way to the weakening of even common-sense regulations on guns. In some parts of the US, it is now legal to carry a loaded gun into a bar, get drunk, and start shooting away. Because, after all, any attempts to control that would simply be another attempt by the "Kenyan-born Muslim socialist" to destroy American freedoms, or so say the Tea Partiers. |
