The FOUNDERS never said anything about bearing arms is a "god-given" right. What they DID say was that a well-governed MILITIA being necessary to the security of a free state... Where does it say ANYTHING about people being free to run amok with any kind of weapon they want? It doesn't.
The gun nuts have NOTHING to do with a well-regulated MILITIA! The time when a well-regulated militia is no longer required to protect our national security. The ONLY need for people being able to bear arms is to protect our government or any other government from being able to diminish our freedoms.
The FOUNDERS were thinking about single-shot weapons, not the assault weapons that so many people want to tote around in public.
I am for keeping a weapon for my personal safety, especially when I am traveling around. As a 73 year young woman, I am seen by some as a potential target. I'm nothing of the sort. I'm an Air Force veteran, I carry and know how to use a deadly weapon.
Bottom Line: Self restraint is necessary when owning weapons. A few years ago, an intruder trespassed on our property--I had the right to shoot the offender. I chose to only cock the shotgun I was holding while keeping my finger OFF the trigger. All it took was the sound of the shotgun to put the trespasser on the ground. A neighbor called 911 and the police took him away. I DID NOT FIRE! The problem is that too many people do not understand that a bullet or shot pellets cannot be recalled.
