Im glad I live in a country were people like you and paco are not allowed to own weapons, makes me feel a lot safer when I am in a classroom or an office and know that there are no guns in the room, and I feel safe that when I am playing basketball the douchebag neighbor wont come out and shoot me because he doesnt like skateboards near his house
and Im supposed to trust that you or anyone else for that matter is going to only have the gun for personal protection? giving that much power to people is not good, humans cannot handle power well, add to that the fact that the law gives an excuse to people like you to shoot anyone they want and then claim self defence makes a horrible situation worse
you think that the fact that there is an NRA lobby is a coincidence? there are many US citizens that dont like the gun laws, probably the majority, which is why the nra needs to lobby and bribe to make sure the laws dont change
so the right to own a gun may be constitutional, but it is definitely not democratic, since most americans dont agree with it
