In a recent interview on “The View,” former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice highlighted the importance of preserving the Second Amendment as an individual right, in some cases the last line of defense in protecting life and liberty.
“Let me tell you why I’m a defender of the Second Amendment,” Rice said on the show. “I was a little girl growing up in Birmingham, Alabama, in the late ‘50s, early ‘60s. There was no way that Bull Connor and the Birmingham police were going to protect you.”
“I’m sure if Bull Connor had known where those guns were, he would have rounded them up,” she said. “So I don’t favor some things like gun registration.”

So you're saying only the government can have guns?
The first advance of attacking the 2nd amendment was by Dem's who didnt't want blacks to own guns. In other words, the KKK and liberal cowards wanted victims who couldn't defend themselves.
Condoleezza Rice was historically correct about one thing, when nations demanded of it citizens to register their weapons, within a few years weapon confiscation almost always occurred.
Until the Supreme Court changes its mind, individual gun ownership remains a right, and only the most feeble-minded and paranoid bellieve that the government is coming to take their guns away. But it is not an unlimited right, as some people try to make it out to be. Even uber-conservative Justice Scalia said so in the historic Heller decision:
"Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Court’s opinion should not 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."
It's the part of Heller the NRA and gun rights activists like to overlook.
