You should get out of your big city world and see the rest of America.
You should get a clue, there are no big cities where I live, and I'm a gun owner who is in favor of gun control. (I have a 1944 M-1 Carbine and a Colt .45)

More into not appreciating redundancy as some apparently do.
I guess repetition is good for something, just not sure what for.
Can you give me a hint?

police killing civilians in Syria very important - YouTube


The moment of killing a child by Al-Assad's gangs in Damascus city in Syria 23.07.2011 - YouTube


Tiananmen Square Massacre on June 4, 1989. - YouTube

After what we've seen in the world, only stupid people would question the wisdom of the Founding Fathers by giving us the 2nd Amendment. It's not without a cost to society, but with it we can rest assured the powers that be won't shoot us down at will... because we can shoot back.

Our government was initially designed to fragment and decentralize power for the freedom and benefit of all. Those in charge now have worked very diligently to do the opposite. Don't think for a second that they wouldn't like us to be just as helpless as the people of Syria or China are against their leaders.
I don't think that has much to do with guns and yes, yes the powers that be will shoot you down at will if it comes down to that whether you have guns or not. There is another country in the middle east called Yemen where just about everyone has guns (second highest rate of gun ownership in the world) and the government is just as oppressive as Syria, and just as many people are being killed by the government.
