Killings, whether they are singular or mass, should be cause for shock and discussion among us all. For the past couple of weeks, Aurora, Colo. was on our minds and on our lips, as it should have been. How can we not think of the victims and the survivors without hoping for a more lucid understanding of the events? The discussions should be about the tragedy, the violence, the ease at which guns and ammo can be purchased, however, the discussions have devolved, just as in the Trayvon Martin case, to finger pointing and race baiting.

Since the Aurora rampage, there has been endless debate among many in the African-American community saying that if James Holmes was black, police would have killed him by now or that since he is white, "they" (the white media, white folks in general or both) paint him as insane. When the Martin case was front-page news, segments in the Caucasian community began blaming the victim, saying that since he was black "they" (the liberal media, black folks in general or both) portrayed him as a doe-eyed innocent. In actuality, Holmes is probably insane and Martin is probably the innocent "they" are making him out to be.

Even though last week's incident in Colorado held many victims of different make ups, all of the dead were white. Should we, as a people of color, be removed from this act of violence? Should our white counterparts be dispassionate about the fact that there's a mother and father mourning their son? Each one killed despite their color. Victims should always remain victims. Our examinations should focus on the cause of these crimes and what, as a society, we can do to prevent them from occurring time after time. Our issues are deeper than DNA.

If we, as a nation, were a car manufacturer facing a major recall, would we focus on the color of the cars? Would we continue to make accusations of "driver error" even after thousands of complaints about the same issue? New York's Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants to know what President Obama and Gov. Romney are doing to address the real focus in these cases, gun violence. Bloomberg is remaining on message by questioning how easily legally-sold guns are being placed in the hands of people who are often ill equipped to handle such an enormous responsibility. Why are assault weapons no longer illegal for private purchase? Assault weapons should forever be illegal for purchase by private citizens or groups of private citizens.

The Second Amendment states, "... the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed," but what's left out by using the ellipsis at the beginning of that quote? "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." The militias of that time were needed because the country was so widely spread out and these militias acted essentially as adjuncts to the military in case more remote areas were under threat of attack. Now, we have larger, better maintained and better trained law enforcement agencies and the National Guard. Militias of today are almost unanimously designed to undermine the government and ensure the domination of one group of people over another group. Our Constitution is not sacrosanct and needs to occasionally come under review. There is no better time for this to happen, NRA be damned.

From Aurora, Colorado to Sanford, Florida and everywhere between and beyond, we as a nation need to remember that these people were first and foremost human beings and secondly victims of violence. We have to decide now if we are going to define our country in terms of black and white or as people of action who are no longer willing to see our families cut down by violence which can be curtailed.

e.g. "A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,"

An Independent Clause is a complete sentence, can stand by itself, can convey a meaning, and must first exist for the dependent clause to have meaning.

e.g. "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. "

The independent clause defines the meaning of any complex sentence.
No rule or law predicates one preceding the other.

That's why the milita argument is dead. The People have a Right to Keep and Bear Arms and we can also form miliitas.

And what, really, has race to do with a second amendment discussion?

§ 1890. The importance of this article will scarcely be doubted by any persons, who have duly reflected upon the subject. The militia is the natural defence of a free country against sudden foreign invasions, domestic insurrections, and domestic usurpations of power by rulers. It is against sound policy for a free people to keep up large military establishments and standing armies in time of peace, both from the enormous expenses, with which they are attended, and the facile means, which they afford to ambitious and unprincipled rulers, to subvert the government, or trample upon the rights of the people. The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them.

"The people" in the 2nd amendment has the exact same meaning as "the people" in every other amendment. We cannot go down the road and selectively interpret each amendment differently.

"Our Constitution is not sacrosanct and needs to occasionally come under review." ... correct! and we have a wonderful review process in our books. amendments can be changed, removed and whatnot. the prohibition amendment was successfully removed. just follow the rules.

but i'm sure liberals would love a less constitutional "review" of the constitution without securing the necessary majorities. makes things much easier.

last but not least : really - Sanford, FL and Aurora, CO? comparable? wooow. to my knowledge nobody in the movie theater climbed on the shooter and punched him in the face before the shots were fired.....

do we really need to play the race card EVERYTIME? how would the police have killed the shooter by now if he had been black? kinda suspicious which such a high profile case. or is the author implying that the police is secretly killing black suspects while in custody?Jimmy_John_08: Stephen obviously knows little to nothing about constitutional law andhttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/social/Jimmy_John_08/deeper-than-dna_b_1753896_175376276.htmlHistory |Permalink |Share itThis comment has been down-ranked into oblivion.

Now, since the people who wrote the constitution had just got done fighting their own military using common people, I highly doubt they wanted to take away the guns of the people that just fought for their freedom. Also one of their many reasons for fighting was their government trying to take away their guns, for their own protection.Spot_The_Mighty: Original gun control was racist, i felt like that neededhttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/social/Spot_The_Mighty/deeper-than-dna_b_1753896_175297928.htmlHistory |Permalink |Share it GendersLove, Tolerance, Enlightenment1976 Fans 13 hours ago (11:21 PM)And do we really want to be unarmed against Blackwater?Genders: And do we really want to be unarmed against Blackwater?http://www.huffingtonpost.com/social/Genders/deeper-than-dna_b_1753896_175338165.htmlHistory |Permalink |Share itThis comment has been down-ranked into oblivion.

Shouldn't it be somewhere else? The militia consists of the able bodied willing to take up arms. It has nothing to do with the standing military or the National Guard.
To disarm the people is to allow the brute force of gov't to have its way. Did the Armenians have the NRA in Turkey? The Jews in Europe? The Cambodians?
I find it kind of crazy that the NRA is the only thing that our lawmakers fear. If only the ACLU had that kind of clout. If they did then warrantless wiretaps, Secret 'No Fly' lists, being sexually violated by the TSA, 'Stop and Frisk' would all be a thing of the past.william_ashbless: Why is the second amendment in the Bill Of Rights?http://www.huffingtonpost.com/social/william_ashbless/deeper-than-dna_b_1753896_175295164.htmlHistory |Permalink |Share itThis comment has been down-ranked into oblivion.
