And you're right maciesmom, their are many reminders here.

I'm just saying, anyone experienced with guns knows there are few situations where you should ever use one. And no, I do not thing anyone needs a semi automatic to protect their home. Christ, go take some classes and learn how to shoot a bullseye.

Nothing like taking out your neighbors when you have a single intruder in your house.

The 2nd Amendment requires citizens to have the 'commonly used weapons of war'...today, that is semi auto and full auto with larger than average magazines.


The 2nd Amendment is not protecting us from criminals, its protecting us from our Govt! This is where people make a mistake, they believe the 2A ONLY allows them to own a firearm.

Wait. All those are arguments against guns. I thought you were pro? Man shot his brother, man shot his kid....

Unless you have your gun glued to your side, having a gun would not have stopped any of that. I have a concealed carry license, and I don't carry unless I am hiking or camping in the boonie.

Gosh if only that kid jumping on the bed would have had a gun on him, maybe he could have protected himself.

People can use their firearms to protect themselves and their property, but for the most part, the 2nd Amendments purpose is to protect citizens against the Govt itself.

So we just accept that a bunch of innocent people are going to be shot on regular basis? Instead of having reasonable gun restrictions (training, background checks and registration)?
