Some of you folks just don't get it. No one was ever killed by a weapon (unless it was defective and destroyed the user). Guns, Rocks, Fishing Poles, Ropes, dynamite, bows-and-arrows, catapults etc. don't kill hurt or maim people. People do these things
Now do I think the average civilian needs cannons, machine guns, bazookas, etc?
No.
Do I really believe the "Right to keep and bear Arms" exhists for the individual as an "inalienable" (definition: Granted by God, not the law) right? Do I think this is in the Constitution to protect the citizen from the Government and other threats?
Yep.
Do I think in today's world the citizenry could really defend or destroy a corrupt government with the weapons he could procure?
No.
Do I think all (sane) citizens should possess and be trained in the public education system to use, firearms?
Yep.
Do I think a crime problem would exist if every citizen were known to be armed or able to be armed?
No, at least not on a violent or physical level. Or at least not at a high incidence rate.
Do I think if none of the citizens were armed crime would be less? Do I think the Government or the police would protect the citizenry better?
No.
The founding fathers knew what they were talking about. Too bad we don't seem to have people that smart anymore.
