They still don’t understand. We don’t need guns to protect us from the bad guys (most of the time). We need them to protect us from bad government.
Absolutely! The Second Amendment was written to protect the people from an over bearing government. We ARE the militia!
We need them for both a despotic government and criminals (but I repeat myself.)
The Second amendment affirms the righ unequivocally against the former; the latter is a gray area, but common sense and justice should guarantee it, since the police is not obligated to prevent our murder by criminals, but they are all proud of themselves when, dressed in full SWAT regalia, they collect our bodies after the crime.
