When you relax important constitutional protections which are in place strictly to protect us as citizens, you compromise freedoms in general. Americans have had guns forever. Accidents and homicides have occurred throughout history. It is certainly one of the unfortunate circumstances that exist in the world, but should not serve as a basis to compromise our freedom.

You taking on the government with your AR-15 when they have the sophisticated weaponry of today is a little outdated thinking, as outdated as the second amendment. Might have applied when it was about muskets and rifles, not now.
