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.

Again, I had the LA riots, the AR was perfect as a deterrent. They have bullets that go around corners, they are little grenades that explode as they pass the corner sending fragments in all directions, thus going around corners.
The supreme court also ruled that some states have gone too far, like the ban on any firearms in DC which was lifted

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
