Strongly agree! "If guns were against the law only criminals would own one."

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

I find is odd all the responses, so far in the debate, have not touched on the main reason, in my mind, why I would never let the law makers take the 2nd amendment away. It's not for the protection of home invaders, it's not for hunting and it's not even for attacks on the street, it's for protection from the powers to be. I believe the MAIN reason we should all support the 2nd amendment is to keep the power of gun ownership in our hands and not in the hands of the government. If all American citizens loose their right to gun ownership the only ones left with the guns are the police.... and this is a scary thought.
