Once again you think the important debate is between guns or no guns. That is only a minor sideshow that is usually put up as a strawman argument by the NRA. The real debate is one of ensuring the public safety while preserving the rights of the individual. That issue cannot be isolated to just a sentence or two in the Constitution, the real issue of individual rights depends on the system of checks and balances that ensure no one group can ammass enough power to control the agenda of the United States. The second amendment is a part of that guarentee, but only a part (And the really important guarentees of that amendment have already been surrendered). The alternative is Bush family unilateral dictates domesticly that are much like the dictates applied internationally and for the same reason, because power corrupts.
