The second amendment is one of your freedoms, whether you exercise it or not.
Twas in reference to your statement that since the government is run by liberals who want to leave criminals in the street you NEED your guns to protect your family, since nobody else is doing it right. I will keep and cherish my my freedoms, but find the open ended NRA ideology of what the 2nd amendment was written for is ludicris. State/City run militias were the idea...not any weapon for any person. Considering the one bastion of State-run militia, the "national guard" has been federalized, we have already lost the true sense of the 2nd amendment.
