Bullied Teen Stabs and kills tormentor

147. Much depends on where you live in our nation. ...

I live in a fairly poor rural area of Florida and many people here hunt deer and feral hog to put meat in their freezers. I remember talking to a lady in her late 60s who was bragging about the first deer she shot this year in the black powder season. I also remember going to a Christmas party and meeting a young girl who was 14 or 15. She had just bagged her first deer ever.

I am not a hunter, however I do enjoy target shooting handguns. It's a very challenging sport that often takes years to develop a good level of proficiency.

Obviously every young child that dies in a shooting accident is a tragedy. It's not all that difficult for parents to properly secure their firearms.

Some argue that the Second Amendment was not written just for hunters, target shooters and self defense. They point out that it is always possible that a tyrant or dictator may take control of our nation. I feel that that is unlikely but I could be wrong. Of course it is quite possible that an armed rebellion would be quickly squashed. However recently we have seen dictators in various nations lose power. Much probably depends on if such a rebellion would have a significant level of popular support. If not, I doubt that it would have any chance of success. At any rate I don't feel that such a popular uprising will occur in my lifetime.
