People, what the fuck is going on? Why are we all arming ourselves? I have the utmost respect for hunters and even gun collectors to buy and own guns. I was an expert marksman in the Air Force, and I even enjoy firing guns at a target range. But I don't get the idea of arming ourselves to leave the house like some pathetic version of Dirty Harry.

Well, w/ Congress trying to repeal the 2nd Amendment everyday, it's more a case of having to do it before it's too late. Look, the reason the 2nd Amendment exists is for the right of the American citizen to protect themselves, not just from everyday threats, but from tyrannical governments. Hence the one we have in place today. Remember, Nazi's passed anti-gun laws to disarm the people, & we all know how that turned out.
