All Rights Have Limits, Even Second Amendment

Kudos to House Speaker Dennis Bonnen for having the political courage to stand up to the crazy folks who believe anyone should be able to carry arms any place at any time under any circumstances.

It’s about time that one of our Republican leaders finally refused to bend to the National Rifle Association’s radical agenda and opted for a common sense approach instead. If you take the thought process of those who believe the Second Amendment should have no restrictions to its logical conclusion, we should also strike down all restrictions that limit access to cigarettes, alcohol and automobiles as well.
