First off, the Bush admin is the one who used the constitution as TP, and they were going around listening in to YOUR phone calls,
as well as the calls of American Servicemen overseas phoning home.
Second off, you highlighted the WRONG part of the second amendment. The Framers were talking about each state having the right to let the militias take the guns home off duty. Have you ever been actively enrolled in your states independent militia? I doubt it as we have not had those for over 170 years.
Even if you were allowed to keep an AK47 in your house,(which you are not now) if you are a typical american gun nut would
a-be more likely to kill a family member than a criminal
b-
be more likely to kill himself or a family member BY MISTAKE than kill a criminal
c-Would be smoked in a few seconds by any mid sized city's SWAT team.
Let's assume you are a fresh out of the service Delta Force Bad ass. 3% body fat, never touches a drop of booze, have a night vision set up and body armour to go with the AK47, and you still are not crap.
If the government wanted you dead, they could have a chopper strafe your house from a half mile away while you were asleep, so having guns
will not protect you from the government.
Does having a gun protect you from criminals? Only if you are wearing your AK as you go to the ATM, and buying groceries.
The reality is...even if you above list was NOT unsourced and bogus, having a gun in YOUR hands does not make me, you, or our families safer.
