[The Duke]

That's funny ... I thought the purpose of the Second Amendment was to keep tyrannical government in check. I never realized it was just for "hunting"?

A couple of years ago I learned that the elderly man living next to me had completely lost his mind and been committed to a mental instituation. When they took him away they also removed a rather significant gun collection. My first reaction was to be grateful that my crazy neighbor no longer had guns at his disposal.

But, as I have thought more on it I have come to the conclusion that life would be *FAR* more dangerous and less worth living if he did not have the freedom to own those guns.

...but even though your neighbor had "completely lost his mind," he never used one of his guns irresponsibly, right? So he sort of proves the point of the NRA, GOA, etc.,: most gun owners are responsible, law-abiding people.
