Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton, both players with the Washington Wizards of the National Basketball League, have been suspended without pay for the rest of the season. Between them they will lose millions of dollars in pay.
The reason for the suspension is that they brought hand guns to work and were, apparently, using them to threaten each other as a result of a petty argument over a gambling debt. Their activities broke both Washington DC law and NBA rules and they are being duly punished.
There is no indication that these weapons were obtained illegally and, fortunately, no one was shot in this incident. The real issue, however, is that there are far too many people, some mentally disturbed, some overly aggressive, and others who are simply evil, with access to to lethal weapons.
The questions, then, for the Second Amendment absolutists are simple.
How do they propose to keep lethal weapons out of the hands of people who are unfit to own them? Or are they comfortable with making the entire USA a free fire zone?
