2nd Ammendment Rights: Should Guns Be Banned?

[Joel Glidden]

You know, I've been rolling the whole, "guns are primarily used for killing" concept around in my head today. I've come to this conclusion...

There are times when KILLING a man is a darn good idea. Furthermore, in critical situations, taking the life of someone who threatens your own is nothing short of essential. Firearms are pretty good at getting that job done. The founders of our nation knew this.

That's why our right to keep and bear arms is so clearly spelled out in our constitution. It's one of the things that keeps us free. It's one of the most robust firewalls we have against tyranny. An armed nation is a free nation. Because if it came down to it, we could fight to defend ourselves against oppression.

What would the Brits do if their government turned communist? Protest? Sing songs and wave signs?

Let me know what you think.
