Yeah, but if we have no guns how can we protect our rights?

No, I'm not implying that we immediately resort to violence. But in the past, situations have arisen where the only solution is to fight (WWII/Civil War/American Revolution/etc).

Well actually the seconed amendment only protects your rights to have a gun to defend your country. Gun activists try and use that to say that the US shouldn't pass strict gun laws but that is never what the 2nd amendment was for. I don't think we should ban guns but we should pass good laws.
Our nation stands for the rights of the individual. If our rights are being taken away, then isn't our nation, and its duties to protect these rights, being comprimised? A nation with little or no rights doesn't sound like America to me. Therefore, we must defend our nation and therefore our rights.
