It's can't be debated that the 2nd Amendment gives the citizens the right to own a gun - when it was written the times were very different, protecting your person, your family and property and yes, defending yourself against your own government - the founding fathers weren't that confident that what they set up would work/last. and it didn't, a Civil War was fought.

BUT............... while the Amendment does give citizens the right to bear arms, it doesn't say you have the right to bear ALL or ANY arms. Supreme Court has held that states can legislate restrictions on gun/arms ownership.

What happens when we start producing incredible high tech guns - guns that have guided bullets that can go down your street, turn the corner, travel cross town, and right through your cheating girlfriend's window? NRA will defend ownership of them.

Defending yourself and your family, your property - a shotgun or handgun will do the job.
