I grew up around guns and as a child could "out shoot" people two/three times my age. The second amendment is properly ranked in terms of importance to our freedoms. The right to speak our minds and the right to defend oneself, are the two cornerstones of a free society.

The idea that the government limit the type and number of weapons that the public have scares me. That is one of the first things a totalitarian society does. If you get the weapons, how can there be an uprising? Sticks?

If people know how to use, and store them, firearms are no more dangerous than a car. Consider, both operate by internal combustion propeling a steel object. I almost forgot, the same people who want guns gone, hate cars too.

I'll leave the rest up to my uncle Mr. Wesson.
