There is no right to privacy or abortion stated explicitly in the Constitution yet those are rights granted by the Supremes. The 2nd Amendment is 100% explicit. According to statistical evidence by John Lott, firearms are used, excluding use by even police officers 2.5 Million times a year in self defense. Luckily, most of the time just a showing of the arm, ends the conflict. The alternative is Great Britain or Australia, simililar cultures where crime in general and even gun crime has exploded to ungodly proportions. Australia is now banning swords of all things hoping that will help, completely missing that an armed citizen is the best protection against crime. When a criminal knocks down your back door, do you really have time to call the police and wait for them to show up before your wife and children are dead? Are you willing to take that risk? I'm not talking about allowing convicted violent felons to legally buy and own firearms. The rest of us need and deserve and have rights to protect ourselves, our families and property from attack. The police by law have no duty to protect us. That has been upheld in many court cases because they cannot be relied upon to show up in time.
