I was just cruising around the Net and I saw this posted at another blog, Three O'clock in the Morning. And I thought we had some wackos in here, myself included! 
"Just because the constitution says we should have something, doesn't mean that we really should. After all, what do we know. We elect people to congress and White Houses to tell us what we need so that we don't have to think about it.
A friend of mine makes a valid point that, since we've given up so many of our other constitutionally guaranteed freedoms, we should give up this one as well. Who needs rights anyway? Isn't our society advancing to a point where we can rely on the Morlocks to provide for us at the relatively low expense of sending them one or two of our Eloi now and then?
No, I'm with my friend on this one. In fact, I think his ideas don't go far enough.
Sure, restricting the types of guns people can own is good. Absolutely we need to have government troops round up and confiscate all non-approved firearms. But that's only the beginning.
As a next step, we need to create a government registry of all people who want to own a firearm, or have views sympathetic to firearm owners. As my friend points out, these kinds of people are obviously mentally defective. So they do need to be tracked and controlled.We should probably designate certain areas within each city for these people to live and, for the safety of the public at large, restrict their movements from these areas.
To be doubly safe, we should make sure all of us right-thinking, non-insane non-gun-owners know when we're dealing with a "gun nut" by requiring them to wear some kind of insignia that identifies them as the sub-humans they really are. I'm thinking a red and white target, or perhaps a six-pointed star or something.
Anyway, I'm sure there a more ideas out there to help us come to a final solution on the gun owners problem. Maybe since gun owners like to hunt in the woods, we can send them all camping. Of course we would have to fence in the camps to make sure innocent people don't stray into these concentrations of gun owners. But it could work."
It's clear that ... we have to do something.
