I know I am in the minority here, but anyone with a cause, no matter how extreme, can find something to justify their reasoning. Just bugs me when Golfer posts this as the end all to why the second amendment is being interperted correctly now. I'm not sure of the relationship between her story and a well armed militia?

To be honest, not trying to make any "end all" statements. I saw the video, thought it would make for a potentially interesting discussion. I was really impressed with how composed she was, and how eloquently she spoke about something so emotional. I do think her final sentence is the point of this whole argument.

If you put a gun to my head, pun intented, I would think there is a middle ground on responsible gun ownership. But with the NRA and many individuals fighting every seemingly sensible piece of gun legislation as "chipping away at the 2nd ammendment", I feel that the only way to combat them is to take an equally polarizing viewpoint in the other direction. I'm not opposed to hunting, skeet shooting, etc. But I really don't think concealed carry laws are in my best interests as a citizen and can't understand why semi automatic weapons are necessary outside of the military or police. There..for what it's worth..

septicemia is the #10 cause of death in this country-1% of deaths per year is the breakdown...half of deaths in this country are from heart disease and cancers.
guns weren't on the list-altho accidents/unintended injuries was on the list... my son did a paper the other day on legalizing marijuana. one stat he found was that 15% of deaths in the u.s. per year are alcohol related-between cirrhosis and dui-vehicle accidents.... at any rate, guns causing death wasn't even on the screen...also saw that over half of gun deaths per year were suicides. but our suicide rate is on par with other countries...

If only someone could give me a legitimate definition of "assault weapon". She is correct about the reason for the Right to Bear Arms. Guns don't kill people, People kill people. I take full responsibility for my actions, and as an American I expect everyone else to take responsibility for their actions. I'm so sick of people making excuses and playing the blame game. If you really think our Govt. is looking out for your best interests here at home then great. This country was founded on individual freedom. Why worry about conceal carry permits? The people who have them are VERY unlikely to do you or your loved ones any harm. How about we round up some criminals for a change instead of harassing innocent law abiding citizens.
