Why is it that every soldier in battle has a rifle? Its because of the assumption that every enemy soldier has a rifle. Why was there a nuclear arms race? Its because there was a fear of nukes being used by the opponent. Why is it that every one of these shootings is a one sided affair? Because its similar to genocide where people have been duped into thinking they are safe. In battle there are wins and losses and nothing can change that. There hasnt been a nuclear war. Gun free zones have set peopleup for genocide like events. Let us show that we can protect our selves first, if a battle insues, let the dust settle and then try to tell me I'm not allowed to protect my self. Second amendment gives us a right but it also insures a responsibility. We are responsible to protect our own life and liberty but a few dickheads just dont understand that and want to prohibit us from doing so.
