hey webby, heres the great thing about the right to bear arms. Maybe you should ask your granpa about how easy it was for the nazis to storm through europe in the 1930's. The asnswer is because the people of those cout=ntries had no way to protect themselves. If you recall your history correctly the very forst thing castro did in cuba was to disarm the populace. The very forst thing the communist did in russia was to disarm the populace. The very first thing ortega did in nicaragus was to dis arm the populace.

When the founding fathers of the u.s. wrote the constitution there were many who wanted the right to bear arms to be the FIRST amendment.(Thomas jefferson. george washington and alexander hamilton just to name a few.)

And as i explained on another thread, the u.s. is not a democracy. We live in a REBUBLIC. Our nations name is THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. We the people grant to the government certain rights by way of the CONSTITUTION. The constirution does not give rights to the people, it gives and limits the rights of the government. This is the fundamental thing that makes this the greatest country on earth. WE THE PEOPLE GRANT RIGHTS TO THE GOVERNMENT......THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT GRANT RIGHTS TO THE PEOPLE. NO OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD DOES THIS AND THAT IS THE SIMPLE REASON WHY NO OTHER COUNTRY EVEN COMES CLOSE TO HAVING THE FREEDOMS THAT WE HERE IN AMERICA ARE SO PROUD OF.
