I am not sure this amendment envisioned the kind of gun toting that is permitted across this country in the last decade. The Second Amendment acknowledged the vulnerability of a nation in its infancy, but could not predict a world where some would move through life feeling more like targets than citizens.

TopCat,
Ten seems to have forgotten why the 2nd amendment exists.
Originally it was so that citizens can be able to resist a tyrannical government.

These days, it has evolved into the right to protect oneself and his or her family and/or property.

This talk about "tyrannical dictators" is nonsense. Practicality aside, a gun registry isn't going to bring in a dictatorship, and anyone who thinks otherwise is a crazy loon.

There, I said it.
