All those same people have never been shot at or hit in civilian life. Another statement you made was to the effect that guns are not needed for self-protection because we have emergency numbers like 911 and that the police make regular rounds each night in every ones neighborhoods is ludicrous. You obviously don't live in a city or way out in the country. I have a hunch your not even an American citizen, but more likely Canadian or in England. A well regulated militia, being nessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
People argue that the second amendment clearly states that people have to right to bear arms.
This part of the second amendment states that the people only have the right to bear arms ONLY for the security of a free state, namely, us. If you want to play with guns and weapons of destruction, join the military. Our forefathers wrote this amendment because we HAD no military. Our only defending army was one formed by volunteers, which consisted of everyday people. To assure that we will always have a military, they wrote the second amendment.
