Well, let's see. The 'government' has a fair sized arsenal, from handguns to missiles armed with nuclear warheads with a few fighter jets, tanks, drones, warships, etc., thrown in. So what exactly does 'mr. second amenment' plan to do with his UZI or AK47....stage a coup? Get real, it's just an excuse to allow a bunch of impotent, insecure losers, most of whom have little or no power in their personal lives, to feel the illusion of power. Except for the phrase "the right to bear arms" (taken totally out of context), most wouldn't know the second amendment from the Satanic Verses, and would be hard put to name another amendment.

Personally, I have nothing against target shooting (as a sport) although I'm not a big fan of hunting (but can tolerate it, say, in areas overpopulate by deer, or where certain animals pose a clear threat to a human population......so I guess I should say I'm not a huge fan of SPORT hunting.....and I come from a family (parent's generation) that were big-time hunters.

This gun culture we live in, combined with liberal concealed carry permits and insane 'stand your ground' laws can only be a recipe for disaster....and has proven so time and time again. Incidents like those currently making the news, will continue to happen and as usual, the initial public outcry for common-sense gun laws will soon disappear into the mist. Like I said, WE JUST NEVER LEARN.
