That was written in 1776 when the world was a completely different place and you had to protect your property yourself w/o law enfocement help. Nowadays that is not needed.
Well, before I go on too long I am going to wrap up.
That's B.S. I'm breaking my freaking neck just to get my F.I.D. so that i can bring my rifle to the range. And do you think taht criminals will follow the law if we make any more new ones? hmm, I thought that by definition, criminals don't follow laws. And anyway, creating new gun laws won't help. There's already hundreds of them, but the stupid state governments (not massachusetts, trust me) don't enforce the laws!! So don't try to take MY rifle, because some other crazy asshole is misusing it. If he was a serial vehicular-manslaughterer (i.e. he was running over people with his car) do you think we should take all of the cars away from everyone? Or put severe limits on when and how long and how fast and for what purpose we can drive them? The fact is, is that there are THOUSANDS of RESPONSIBLE gun owners in the U.S. But nobody cares or acknowledges that fact. But just as soon as something goes wrong with some dude, we ALL suddenly becoming crazy extremists with an itchy trigger finger, or at least that's what the media says. And people believe them too. Sucks to have to pay the price, but people that choose not to have guns don't, so they can just complain all they want. Is it fair? IMO absolutley not. But if i try to share my feelings like this, i'm automatically labled as a right wing gun loving hick.
