I find it frightening that law-abiding citizens DON'T have guns. The U.S. Constitution has tools for its maintenance built in (2nd Amendment), but modern Americans have been brainwashed into believing such thinking is outdated. Truly amazing. Is it the constant terrorism the government throws at you under the guise of "news" that has turned you into a quivering mass of jelly that wants to be "taken care of?"

Especially puzzling are the attitudes of so many "feminists." It seems you women would be made of sterner stuff, with your "empowered" attitudes. You throw off the yoke of male domination so that you can, what?...totally acquiesce to government domination? Your government admits to raping with acid at Abu Grahib, but you want to ban all guns so that same government can "protect" you and your single-parent child? What has HAPPENED to your thinking? You should immediately buy a handgun, take a course in shooting, and then take your kid out to the range and show him or her how to shoot. Lock the gun away at home in a quick access safe and you'll have a tool that may save you and your kid's life someday, too.
