As has often been said about the 1st Amendment, speech we find offensive and often unpopular is why it exists; popular speech doesnt need it. Yes I often disagree with "art" movies and many speakers, but fully support the right,
Same goes for the 2nd, if we only had them for sporting clays or competition, no one would be excited. Even legitimated hunting is often attacked.
The guns or type so vilified now have been available in the civilian market since the late 40s, the AR was available in the 60s and yet mass shootings is relatively new in comparison to the time citizens have had access. It is overly simplistic to blame the technology and think laws making them less accessible will change things though it seem at least one or more on this tread seem to think otherwise.
I truly believe the members of the Greatest Generation would be saddened to see so many willing and some eager to give up some freedom they fought and died far and it goes beyond the second amendment.
I'm too old and too averse to killing another American to fight a war, but I will never surrender any of my weapons.
