It's not like it matters, its in the constitution. Its one of our rights, and it will always be that way till the downfall of America.

It was an amendment. That means they messed up in the original, so they added it later. We've added and taken away plenty of things. Also, the wording of it in the original drafts implied that people were allowed to form armed militias.
I can kind of understand people wanting guns for hunting and personal defense. However, there are people who get upset about assault rifles being banned. Do you really need to spray bullets at deer? How often are you going to need to pull out an automatic to take care of that mugger?
I doubt will see any strong gun bans any time soon, and I'm not sure how effective they will be, but I'd rather lose the right to carry a deadly weapon than risk letting a potentially suicidal guy carry one. Why do we even need guns? Aren't tasers safer and just as effective?
