    Letter to the Capital Gazette:
    http://www.capitalgazette.com/opinion/letters/ac-ce-letters-20180721-story.html

    I now understand what they mean when they say “Now is the time for the family not politics” but I must admit that I cringed when I saw President Donald Trump tweet his “thoughts and prayers” the day after the shooting.

    I was moved at the vigil at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Annapolis by the Rev. John T Crestwell Jr., sharing with us that Wendi Winters’ last moments alive were on her feet going toward the gunman.

    I was moved by Wendi's daughter Winters Leigh Geimer (with whom my daughter Hallie and I had worked, laughed and cried at so many YRUU Cons) said: “If you want to remember my mother, keep working for one of the many causes for which she devoted her life.”

    Well, Wendi was at the Washington March for Our Lives with many of us from the Unitarian Universalist Church of Annapolis, including my daughter, Amalie (in a wheelchair) and I, just a mere three months ago.

    That was yesterday, and I will grieve today. But enough is enough.

    I understand the founding fathers' 18th-century original intent, but in the 21st century, there is no way for the law enforcement, legal, medical, and psychiatric communities to efficiently regulate firearms. Our police and armed forces can be well-regulated, and hunters can check them in and out like they do in the military.

    Tomorrow I will work to elect sensible local, state, national legislators, and a new president to abolish the 2nd Amendment

    Sorry, but a Unitarian lecturing me about policy for the betterment of mankind is like my dog lecturing me on a policy for betterment of cats.

    Neither have a lot of credibility with me.

    Our police and armed forces can be well-regulated...

    Hmmm... well-regulated by WHOM?

    When Trump was elected, it was the left becoming hysterical, wanting to arm up.

    When Obama was elected, it was the right quietly arming up.

    I guess only police and military having arms only works if you are the one well-regulating them.

    There was another duly elected government in which only the police and military, quite well regulated, had arms - it was Nazi Germany. How did that experiment work out for 6 million Jews, mentally/phyically handicapped, and other political prisons?

    But then, I'm sure the good man always trusts his government to be the benign benefactor of all peoples... He should look no further than his own backyard of Baltimore to see just how incompetent and corrupt a politician can become. I guess the truth is too much for these people to understand.

    The entire Trump/Russia "collusion" fiasco should show people how much we can trust our government. They used a discredited dossier to spy on a citizen. The warrant was signed by the director of the FBI, Secretary of State etc. It was used to spy on a Presidential campaign the deep state didn't like. This should absolutely terrify people. It doesn't because it suits their needs....

    This is just another example of a nut. That thinks everyone of his fellow human beings would be better off, if there were not guns around. But his biggest glaring fault is that he doesn't know that his fellow human being would resort to knife, bat, bomb, car or and other object. Baltimore is in my opinion a cesspool of graft, murder, illegal drugs, theft and hate in may areas of that metropolis.

    I really don't think he does understand. The founders logic in making 2A the 2nd of our rights is as timeless as the human condition. Of course, 1A guarantees even the most distorted of religious beliefs.

    Is Clifford G. Arnold from Baltimore? His commentary was printed in the Capital Gazette and he refers to "many of us from the Unitarian Universalist Church of Annapolis". Baltimore should be held responsible for their own but I think this one belongs to somebody else.

    Emotional response and emotional solutions rarely, if ever, resolve what is a practical and pragmatic problem.

    Emotion will not resolve the violence problem in America. Neither will ignoring the facts.

    Emotion is a wonderful spark but a lousy fuel. Just like hate and anger and fear. They can start lots of things...their failures to finish are legion.

    You can't abolish a right.

    Yep. You can delete the Second Amendment from the BoR, but that doesn't eliminate my fundamental right.

    The text doesn't grant the right (which would hardly be a "right" if it did ...) It's very much a clarification - "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." The implication there is that you already have this, and the Gub'ment shall not infringe upon it.

    ... not that the grabbers are dissuaded by this at all.

    They called for the abolition of the 2A last year.

    They called for the abolition of the 2A the year before that.

    They're calling for the abolition of the 2A this year.

    They'll call for the abolition of the 2A next year.

    They'll call for the abolition of the 2A the year after that.

    It's what they do, but the 2A isn't going anywhere.

    The November elections should be very telling for "them". Lefties are expecting a blue landslide.

    RE: #16, #17, and #18.

    In any other year, I'd feel confident in our chances for a Red Wave. But the number of Republican Critter incumbents jumping ship has me concerned for some time now.

    To date, 39 Representatives and 4 Senators are packing up and moving out. My math skills are bit rusty, but I think that's 43 Critters. Incumbents are reelected 98% of the time. It's anyone's guess what will happen in November.

    Better hope those incumbent R seats are in solid red districts.

    Was watching the news, a piece on a gun control rally a girl from the school in Maryland that had a shooting had the megaphone. She was saying that the 2A was not mandatory, and she would appreciate people not sending her e-mails about holsters for women and other such items as even if she was armed she the people (she said the names) would still be dead. I just don't get it people just seem to understand that if not them than who is going is going to step up and be the protector. The lead in from the anchor even stated that Maryland has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation.
