Anyone without a violent criminal record should be able to own them.

A well-armed citizenry is the last resort of protecting the law from the government. That's why we have the Second Amendment. As events in Fallujah prove, a militia of ordinary people can still defeat a modern military machine.


TKProduce, we legalized guns when the country was first set up because the very reason we were an free and independent country BECAUSE the average citizen on the street had guns. We weren't about to revert to another British-style tyranny.

Gun Control was a MAJOR issue during the revolutionary war:

"They tell us, sir, that we are weak, unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week? Or will it be the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed and there shall be a British guard stationed behind every door?"
--Patrick Henry, urging Virginia to declare its independence from Great Britain
