Stopping The Madness
After the most recent horrific school shooting in Florida, it seems that everyone has an answer as what to do to keep something like it from happening again. This columnist, a former resident of Springfield, has the same old answer. More restrictions.
But Her's are what I would consider to be a direct "assault" on our constitutional rights. In the article, Ms Shaffer wants all gun owners to have a "Gun License", to purchase guns, ammo, even accessories. Her reasoning is, if someone buys a large amount of ammunition in a short time, a "red flag" would come up, alerting the authorities. That alone is an invasion of privacy. Imagine getting into your car, and detectors go off, alerting the "authorities" that you have been drinking. Not enough to be legally intoxicated, but enough for a "red flag" to go up.
And all this information was fed into databases, then shared with others. Next thing your insurance company drops you, your health care provider demands you go to an alcohol rehabilitation, and your neighbors find out. I know, seriously far fetched, right? Well, actually, Ms. Shaffer's ideas are quite in line, only with guns, not booze.
Madness indeed.
