[QUOTE="SeniorGeek, post: 190505, member: 4823"] It [I]could[/I]...assuming that "Ignore the Constitution" applies to the [U]whole[/U] Constitution (more specifically, [U]all[/U] the Amendments), there would be no restrictions on search & seizure, dissenting speech could be suppressed, travel could be restricted/denied, courts could be streamlined or even eliminated, and we lose a whole bunch of other things I take for granted to the point that I forget they are protected by our Bill of Rights. We [U]could[/U] end up safer from guns, but how do we get there? I think the path to becoming "gun-free" in the US would involve prying a [I]lot[/I] of cold, dead fingers.... I do not want to be caught in the crossfire. I had trouble verifying this quote from a reliable news source, so it [U]may[/U] be someone's fabrication that has spread across the web: [I]"If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun."[/I] -- The Dalai Lama, speaking in Portland, Oregon (May,2001), when asked by a girl how to react when a shooter takes aim at a classmate. I think the Dalai Lama knows that the hardware does not act. [/QUOTE]
