another very valid reason not to further hinder law abiding citizens from having the means to defend themselves, their families, loved ones and friends, and others against such hurtful attacks under the 2nd amendment.  the attackers never follow the laws.  therefore, the laws never apply to the attacker.  the laws only apply to those who conscientiously abide by the law.  therefore, in effect, modifying the 2nd amendment, or stopping sane, sensible, and honest citizens from being able to immediately defend themselves only hurts the innocent - not the criminals or unstable persons.  where is the logic in that?
