[Q
The list of things we don't allow law abiding citizens to possess is too long to list. Guns need to be added to that as almost no citizen needs one.
The Second Amendment is not needs based just like you don't have to prove a need before you have freedom of speech.
The "need" is expressed quite well with the phrase in the Bill of Rights "being necessary to the security of a free State".
If you are a ***** that is afraid of firearms then don't buy one. Nobody is stopping you. However, you are being a real despicable asshole when you advocate using the force of government to "infringe" the right to keep and bear arms. What the hell is the matter with you? Did your father not show you enough affection or something?
By the way, my "needs" for firearms are the following:
1. Recreational purposes
2. Self defense
3. Hunting
4. Maintain the strength of the citizenry to hold the government accountable for oppression.
Of all of those needs it is number four that the Founding Fathers of this country felt was the most important and it is just as valid today as it was over 200 years ago. Maybe even more so.
