Good point; perhaps the question should be frames, "Should "We the people" allow authorities to curtail our 2nd Amendment rights?
Yes, thats pretty much whats happening now. Note that the govt is all too happy to use force in this ‘contest’. They have no qualms about committing violence against those who oppose them peacefully. Despite MSM lies about gun owners being the bad guys anyone w/ a brain understands its armed govt agents and pols who fit that bill.
