‘Stuff Happens,’ Says Jeb Bush: Yes It Does, This Is Why We Have Laws
Stay classy, you dumb fucking Bush's.

"In the wake of the shocking and tragic Oregon College shootings that left ten dead and 9 injured, the New York Times reports that Jeb Bush had some interesting words to contribute to the grieving process — specifically, “Stuff happens.” Yes, Presidential hopeful Bush, stuff does happen. It happens a lot. In fact, so much stuff happens that even in the freest nation on the planet, we have laws to prevent the bad stuff.

The Second Amendment has been a hot-button political issue seemingly forever. It is inarguable that the U.S. Constitution protects the rights of private citizens to keep and bear arms, and for good reason. Prior to the American Revolution, the British Crown took actions to disarm the wayward colonists. In 1774, an import ban on firearms and gunpowder was instituted. Some time later, from 1774-75, gunpowder and firearms began to be confiscated, sometimes requiring the use of violence by the Crown. It was largely due to these measures that the Second Amendment was added to the U.S. Constitution before it was ratified by the states. The Second Constitutional Amendment reads as follows.

“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 U.S. Supreme Court has further weighed in on the Second Amendment, most notably in modern times with the Heller case, which protected the rights of individuals to keep handguns in their home for self-defense purposes but also reiterated that the right to bear arms is not unlimited, and that laws restricting access to guns by certain groups of people or in certain areas do not violate the Second Amendment of the Constitution.

“Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited… Although we do not undertake an exhaustive historical analysis today of the full scope of the Second Amendment, nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.”"

I don't like him, but he's right. In a free society, shit happens, people will be murdered.

Tough truth. Knee jerk reactions to tragedies are just ways to remove more of our rights. Buck up and deal with it, you didn't even know the people FFS.

Yep, it's okay when people die so long as we don't know them.

That's the entire premise of the US miitary, right?
