"We stop being something to be proud of when we love our guns more than we love our children"

17. Its not an offense, its our RIGHT

The 2nd amendment is just as important to the protection of this country against tyranny as the first. You want to repeal the second, or limit it, why not do the same to speech, or religion, or the press. The government has already pissed on Habeus Corpus, the right to a speedy trial, right to privacy, search and siezure, ALL OF IT, and you STILL want them to continue to take our rights away.

I am sickened and saddened by what happened in Sandy Hook, but fear is NO REASON to take away our rights. It is that thinking since 9/11 that has allowed our government every day to trod further and further towards tyranny.

You don't like the 2nd amendment? Too bad, its a FUNDAMENTAL right of the people designed to protect us against tyranny which means YES we need assault weapons and YES we need high capacity magazines. If you don't like that RIGHT then honestly you don't really belong here, because that is as essential a part of America as every other right we have.

If that makes you feel unsafe for yourself or your children, then go somewhere where owning and possessing firearms isn't a FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT of the people.

Anyone who opposes the 2nd amendment or thinks it should be limited deserves the tyranny that will come. If you think that is an exaggeration, look at the last 13 years again, I'll wait.
