@Keith
I am frum
That is my personal belief and practice
I am a Liberal Democrat who is also a Fiscal Conservative. That is my ‘American Citizen’ persona
I am old enough to have suffered discrimination that was legal before the Democrats passed and LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act.
I am an attorney, I also am an adjunct Professor at Law School.
I oppose private ownership of guns by ordinary citizens who are NOT law enforcement or members of the National Guard or Reserve.
I understand the 2nd Amendment and consider the National Guard and Reserves to be the well regulated militia of our times that complies with the original intent of the Framers of the Constitution.
In 1785 they could not imagine the tykes of modern killing machines that now are called guns.
Then guns were necessary to procure food for many outside the few cities, protect against hostile natives, invaders and rebellious slaves.
This is no longer the case.
For those who say they only shoot for sport at a shooting range. I say let the business owner the guns and members be allowed to use them on the premises only.
No one needs an AR-15
