The second amendment to the US Constitution: "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."
Obviously, the more politically conservative you are, the more you dislike gun control and support the right to bear arms to be unregulated, while liberals tend to want more controls and regulations. However, without being too political, do you objectively believe that gun control saves lives? Are the regulations we have today in the US (assault rifle laws, registration, concealed weapons laws etc) sufficient or not enough?
Do you believe it is more the person who is prone to killing and not the gun's fault? If guns were non-existent (suspend your disbelief here) would crime go down or would those people just use something else to kill?
Also, do you think the Second Amendment was meant to say ONLY militiamen and women could have guns? Or every citizen?
