@Swingarthur I feel the same way about being British. If someone tries to mug me, there is a rare chance he hasa gun. In America it's pretty mucha certainty.
-
You can say what you want, but I definitely feel safer living in gun-free Australia, then in gun-full America!
-
I support every citizen being armed. Both with the power to vote for their own laws and representatives, and with a weapon that will equalize things between people as much as possible.

Think about this angle: You never know who is carrying... how about the guy who will come around the corner in two seconds? Will he assume the thief is a cop and carry on, will he assume the thief is actually a victim and try to help, will he call the cops because there's a dead guy over there, or will he draw down on the thief and hold him until the police arrive?
In short: Mr Criminal never knows who might decide to end his criminal career rather permanently.

if the "badguy" dont know who is carrying wont he just kill the person he is robbing then take their money after to be safe?
-
crap, they're appealing to my feminist side.

@mechanoid2k well yes, if the British in North Amerika had lost the war or independence it would have been a failed rebellion and a civil war and the founding fathers would have been traitors.

@as2351 You also forget, or do not know, that the militia can use the very same right againts your normal citizen, now take a look at Canada's law- you can carry a handgun even a concealed one, as long as you did not steal it or did any previous crime. Now what are we afraid of ?!

The phrasing of the 2nd amendment is neither ambiguous nor flawed. Penn & Teller also got it wrong: At the time of the writing of the constitution, "militia" was the name given to semi-professional soldiers; in essence, citizens who organized during a time of conflict to protect their homes. The 2nd amendment enshrines not only the right of people to bear armaments, but also to assemble as militia when their families and property are threatened.
