    People have the natural Right to self-defense: of our selves, homes, communities and country, from attackers foreign or domestic, that stands regardless of any laws on or off the books.

    The Second Amendment is a Red Herring: it only acknowledges a right we already possess, and prohibits (or is supposed to) the government from making laws that infringe on that Right.

    Source(s):

    Natural law; common sense; Life itself

    In an effort for itself to appear like they are in the middle. The uber left is criminalizing average law abiding citizens. In fact the uber left is so very far out in left field they don't even register on the charts.

    Right now, the average citizen who loves their country, values the constitution, and pays their own way is labeled an extremist and is attacked. This is propaganda in action. Repeat a lie often enough and people begin to believe it. It is also the reason our founding fathers gifted us our second amendment rights.

    Yeah here in the UK it's pretty hard to get a gun anyway (you can only have semi-auto .22s or three round magazine (that's the max capacity) shotguns (not that many people even want one or have one except for farmers obviously) yet the minute you use it in self-defence you're arrested for attempted murder (fortunately in the recent cases the people got released however)

    For airsofting here you need a sort of licence (UKARA defence) to legally purchase a RIF (realistic imitation firearm) although it's quite easy to obtain once & they don't cost anything etc but if I were to use it to defend myself or something it could risk the whole sport because one idiot blames the activity (that's like if you hit somebody with a cricket bat and the government bans cricket)

    Some ducks actually tried to ban airsoft back in 2006 I believe and that's why we now need the licence thingies but it has more restrictions on imports etc as you can't order a RIF from overseas personally.

    A criminal is one who breaks the law.

  • Well, seeing as a man that was just yelling about gun control being irrelevant in my city just shot his wife and kids, I would say that you're only law abiding to a certain point.

    your stupid = fact. Criminal is anyone who breaks the law. I guess your crying because the government won't let you play with dangerous assault rifles. Well you people should of been more careful with your toys, you should of made damn sure that a lunatic couldn't get ahold of one and murder 20 kids, so you've got no one to blame but yourself
