Guns, who should be able to own them? Options

[*NatiMarie*]

We all know that guns can cause harm, they're everywhere darnit!

Primarily, who can own them? Who shouldn't own them?

it wuz legalized cuz there were no police bak then to help the pple......they kinda had to protect them selves

There WERE police in the cities.

The people in the country were so spread out that there was little to no risk of crime.

It is clear, if you read what the FOunding Fathers wrote, that the Second Amendment was designed to give people the means to protect themselves from the GOVERNMENT.

The police are PART of the GOVERNMENT. If only the police have guns, what will ordinary people do when the police become the instrument of oppression?

That is precisely what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they created the Second Amendment, and they also created the militia to protect us from the Army.

In brief,
The government protects us from foreign countries.
The law protects us from the government.
The right to bear arms protects the law from the government.
