No sane person wants to shoot someone else. Everyday we pray to G-D ALMIGHTY that we never find ourselves in that situation. I know someone who was in the Gulf War and has PTSD from having to shoot a couple of Iraqis in what was a clear cut case of self-defense. It is very difficult to deal with, but what's worse? Dealing with any feelings of guilt after shooting someone who would've killed you with no regrets, or being shot yourself? Otherwise, if they advocate gun safety and responsibly handling firearms, welcome to the club!

The way the Second Amendment was worded clearly shows that the Framers had in mind,first and foremost,allowing individual citizens to protect themselves from an overreaching government.This very point was (fairly) recently made,and very powerfully made,by a certain man from Minnesota who was to go on to become Vice President (google "Humphrey" and "2nd Amendment").

Personal self defense may have also been a consideration.Hunting? Maybe not.

A law abiding citizen of any color has that right...God given...as stated in the Constitution.

I always liked what the head of the National Black Sportsman’s Association said about thirty five years ago.

“When someone burns a cross on your lawn, the best firehose is an AK-47.”-General Laney

Several years later, the MSM tried to ruin him.
