I've seen enough of this "2nd amendment" "Constitutional Rights" BS...it's not your right under the constitution, simply because it's been misinterpreted and bastardized to serve that purpose. I don't believe guns need banned, just regulated better...it's no civilians right to own an AK47, or even an AR15(Although it's semi auto-matic, it's no hunting rifle). There's also no need to own a handgun, it's only purpose being concealment AND is harder to fire accurately than a rifle. There's just far too much redneck persuasion for things to ever change, because like you already mentioned, theres a percieve bastardized RIGHT to owning any gun you want. Why stop there? Why not make rocket launchers legal? Afterall, law abiding citizens won't abuse those...too bad it's the law abizing citizens who buy guns ILLEGALLY for those who aren't allowed to own them, and the stupid morons that don't store them properly that wind up having them stolen or their kids shoot themselves or their siblings in the face with them. Yes, guns don't kill people, people kill people...and there are too many with sub 80 IQs in your gun culture ridden society that are allowed possession of them. I've fired weapons of war, and have the "right" to own a number of weapons...and I don't believe it's a right that should be given to civilians beyond possessing weapons for the means of hunting, should they also be used as a means of self-defense, then so be it. But handguns and assault rifles? Bitch please...
