From MSNBC, about the moderate Republican: "'As the Second Amendment says, a well-regulated militia is essential to our national identity,' former Secretary of State Gen. Colin Powell told the Morning Joe crew on Monday, adding that gun control advocates need only follow the Amendment in order to accomplish their goals. 'The American people want to see something done, and it is not a threat to the Second Amendment,' Powell said, live at The Dubliner."
Mr. Powell continues his pro-gun control message: 'A message I’d like to see get out is: ’we’re not taking away your
Second Amendment rights,’' Powell said. 'I believe in the Second
Amendment, I have guns in my home, I am prepared to protect my family,
but I’m prepared to do whatever is necessary to make sure that everyone
buying guns is checked — what is objectionable about that?'
More from Mr. Powell, about the Second Amendment: "'The Second Amendment was written to protect the people from the
government, but the reality is the government isn’t coming after you and
the Second Amendment is intact. You can own guns legally,' Powell said. 'But the American people have been devastated by what’s happened at
Newtown and elsewhere.'"
Booker Rising response: I wonder if Mr. Powell travels with armed bodyguards, while preaching to everyone else about more gun control? We already have regulations in place. No more are needed. More regulations will not significantly reduce crime, but instead hurt law-abiding citizens. Let's look at what's Chicago's skyrocketing murder rate, despite Chicago having one of the nation's strictest gun control laws. The government isn't coming after law-abiding citizens precisely because the Second Amendment remains intact....for now. Or shall I pull the numerous examples from African-American history (and other people's history, around the world) where an armed government committed atrocities against our defenseless black ancestors? For good reason, I don't trust criminals or the government....
