For all the "why do we/you have a 2nd amendment right, its so outdated/old/run its course". If you read our history you'll understand. When our amendment was written the founding fathers understood that the only thing keeping a gov. from being tyrannical and abusive to its citizenry was weapons. How did they come to this conclusion? They saw the British Empire ban weapons in the colonies and confiscated them very often. Also how do you suppose they overthrow British rule? With blogs, and newspapers....? With all of our rights in our constitution there have been hard pills to swallow, like watching our flag burn, and funerals of soldiers protested while using the first amendment, criminals let go because of violations of many different amendments. With these liberties come sacrifices. And once we start letting these liberties go in exchange for comfort and warm fuzzies, thats when we truly have to start worrying.
