I have no data to back up the following views. Nor am I advocating for eugenics.

When the Second Amendment was written, life and medicines that controlled life was different. Then we did not have the technology available to keep unhealthy, premature babies alive in an incubator. Nor did we have vaccinations that kept weak children alive.

Now the weak are alive and rewarded for their propagation with welfare and food stamps. Welfare also allows plenty of children to be raised by a single mom. No longer does a child have the foundations of a father figure and other constraints on violent behavior.

This breeding of unhealthy children, and children raised without respect for others, has led to more people with schizophrenia, bipolar and other mental disorders. Therefore, some people should not be allowed to own guns.

Since the Second Amendment was written we have seen the development of a profusion of psychotropic drugs, both legal and illegal. I suspect many domestic murders today are the results of using these drugs.

The homicide rate was lower in 1900 despite the fact that guns could be bought so easily.

In 1900 People with schizophrenia were locked away. Today, because of civil rights, they are given drugs and allowed to mix in society.

This article gives reasons for the homicide rate going up and down. During hard economic times the homicide and suicide rate spike. In good times, or when FDR offered hope to the nation, the homicide and suicide rates declined. http://www.jpands.org/hacienda/stolinsky1.html

I believe some of the 21st century domestic murders are a form of domestic terrorism. I certainly don't approve of this domestic violence, but I believe many men are resorting to domestic terrorism because they feel like the laws are stacked against them in the family courts. When a terrorist feels powerless under the law he will resort to actions outside the law. If he can't have what he thinks is his he will make sure it is not available for anyone.

I do believe that any teacher or other worker who wants to carry a gun, after approval, should be allowed to do so. Carrying guns were allowed when the Second Amendment was written.

When I was a farm lad the community seldom locked their doors at night. Every house had a shotgun. Burglaries were unheard of.

Making guns illegal will cause the price of guns to increase, like the price of illegal drugs.
