I can see an argument for being allowed to keep guns for home defense but being able to carry an assault weapon around is hardly home defense is it? Is there any possible practical argument that being allowed to carry an assault weapon (or indeed any weapon bigger than a handgun) around legally? It seems entirely moronic to me that this is legal. *Note: I disagree with being able to carry even handguns around, but thats a different kettle of fish* |
I don't own a gun and don't think I need to, however, to remove the right to carry a gun is one step closer to remove the right to own one at all. That's why people fight against it.
Same as free speach. I completely disagree with a KKK speach / writing etc. But, I'll fight like hell to ensure you are able to do it.
Originally US Constitution allowed the right to bear arms to protect oneself from the government. I'm ok with that logic, however, I don't personally feel the need to own one.
