actually I do not favor gun control. In a crisis, I don't want the police and the state to be the only ones with guns.

Is this a common sentiment in your milieu, or does it get lonely defending this position at the Academy?

As a follow-up, do you believe that the 2nd Amendment refers to a collective right of the States, or does it protect the individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms (one of the Rights free men and women are born with)?

It will be interesting to see your answer.
