Re: Thoughts on Manchin-Toomey Amendment

I understand where you are coming from. Consider these questions though.
As it was written how would the new background law have stopped the Boston marathon bombing, New Town massacre, or the theater shooting in Colorado, or the shooting in Arizona?
Does this restrict the criminal or the noncriminal?
How would it penalize the criminal?
Why should you or I be censured for a criminal act we did not commit.
Why should you be denied an inalienable right because I or someone else might do something wrong.

The 1st Amendment affirms that every citizen of the United States has the right to freedom of Speech (we wont go into freedom of the press). Learned people and others say you do but you don't. They say "You don't have the right to yell fire in a crowded theater." They are wrong. You can yell Fire if you want, you must be willing and are obligated to be held accountable for your actions. If there is no fire and people are hurt, you are responsible and must suffer the consequence's.

There is no difference between the 1st or 2nd Amendments as far as accountability.
