I don't believe the intent of the 2nd Amendment was for people to walk around the streets carrying guns and randomly shooting people. I believe it was to carry a gun if imminent danger from government. The law was written in a time where danger of being killed from other items, such as cars, didn't exist but when it became apparent people could be killed by cars then laws, ability tests and licenses were required. We should afford the gun the same respect we afford the automobile.
