Pro-gun people have the responsibility of educating anti-gun people about the second amendment.

Well, when you folks make one - let me know. For starters - not everyone wants to ban guns and by labeling everyone who doesn't agree with every single thing you say as 'anti-gun', you've already alienated your audience. You've already lost the chance to bring them over to your side.

Really, something you probably should have learned in elementary school.

May I ask you this--not trying to deflect here--do you see anything wrong with a society in which our citizens feel the need to be armed to the teeth just to walk down the street? How come no one wants to address that issue?

Excellent point. I'm curious to see how that is addressed. Living in the wild, wild West certainly isn't MY fantasy.
