Gun Control Not Constitutional

Both Reginald Campos and David Serbeck bore guns the night Campos shot Serbeck. Where do I stand on gun control?

I believe it should take a Constitutional amendment before we have any gun control. The Second Amendment does not allow any curtailment of the right to carry weapons.

That amendment, in its entirety, reads, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

I also believe in property rights. When churches and schools (or stores or anyone) say, "That's fine, your right to bear arms, but you can't bring them in here," they are within their rights, just as much as you and I have the right not to let someone enter our homes if they are carrying a gun.
