We all treasure the constitution and the Second Amendment. We believe that Americans have the right to own guns. But that amendment does not entitle citizens to own combat weapons like the assault weapon that the shooter used to kill 12 and wound 58 more in a Colorado theater.

Good point. Which means you have the right to not merely own a gun, but to carry it.

Had anyone in the theater been carrying a weapon, it would have had an entirely different outcome.

And if most people took their responsibility for self-defense seriously, the nut wouldn't have tried it in the first place, he'd know half the people in there would be packing.

After guns are banned, knives are banned, after that they start bannning ideas.....

Then they start shipping people away who disagree with them....

KC - I’m no lawyer but I take “keep” to mean “own”.

“A well regulated militia...”

LR - You have a point. What other arms would a citizen militia need but those that are suitable for combat?
