Of course you don't need one of those either. But it isn't about what you think I "need". So we let you take away all the semi-automatic rifles. Then you point out that we don't really "need" any other kind of rifles. The you point out that we don't really "need" any kind of gun at all. This may or may not be true, but there will be gun makers, and there will be a black market, and there will be guns in the hands of pretty much everybody except the law-abiding citizens.

I have an AR-15. Thank you.
It is way more high maintainance than the military counterpart.
Do I need it? Not really. Do I enjoy it? Do I respect it? Do I respect human life?
All yes.
I hate to spit out a cliche, of guns not killing people, but people do.
I fear gun control, because it is what Hitler and Stalin did before they plunged their nations into peril.
As said before, I am liberal on in most views except gun control.
the bill of rights is the groundwork of our constitution, and should never be changed.
Change the second amendment, it will bring about precidence to change another. Like the right to speedy trial, or the right to fair punishments.
Change the second amendment would open up a huge can of worms, that will erode our entire system.
Bill of rights is not to be messed with, it is the benchmark, our core beliefs as a people, and a "national idea".
