Until you can prove to me that the 2nd Amend RESTRICTS ownership of firearms, AND prove to me that more folks are killed by firearms than saved by firearms in this country, I will adamantly support any means for American citizens to own firearms legally. I do not care about what some folks "believe" the authors of the Constitution and Bill of Rights "meant." If you want the RIGHTS of the citizens to change, then do it legally. If you wish to eliminate the cars on the road so that children can play in the streets, then do so legally.
I have stated my opinion that children should be protected by hardening physical security of the schools. There are certain folks in this country that simply wish to ban guns, period. If it was their way, they would also ban churches because they do not agree with religion. Sorry, but if you wish to protect the children then do it properly instead of using children to further the gun ban cause. Banning guns will only make millions of criminals in this country, because they will NOT give them up.
The 2nd Amend does not stipulate what type of gun a citizen may own. You do not know what they were thinking when they said that the gov shall not take that right away. If you do not like the law, then vote to change it. If you don't have enough votes then accept it, that the majority rules even if we have representatives of the majority that make the rules.
