    | Advocates of gun control, also defenders of the Second Amendment, counter with the common sense argument that, no, the only guns that should be controlled are military-style weapons that have the capability of killing a large number of people in a short amount of time.
 
 Ed.: Um, no.  No 'defender of the Second Amendment' argues that rifles that cosmetically appear similar to military weapons should be subject to gun controls.

    | A good rifleman with a lever operated or pump operated rifle is more dangerous than the average punk or terrorist with a black rifle. 
 If these people actually wanted to make this country safer, they would get rid of gun free zones and push to lock up the criminals instead of letting them out on bail or probation.
 
 Obama has released over 1000 criminals that should not be on the street.  Those that got pardons will have their gun rights restored.
 
 I don't want to hear another word about making the country safer from a Democrat.

                      | Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American... The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state government, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people.  — Tench Coxe, Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788. |  |  |
