Doesn't matter. The needs of people vary. I can imagine that there are many thousands of US citizens in each category listed below:I said just shotguns and revolvers onlyAre you stupid enough to think that criminals won't have all the firepower you're saying honest people should be prohibited from owning.Get rid of these guns
Be a civilized society
What more do you need than a shotgun and revolver
BTW, the 2nd Amendment is not about a need to have guns. It's about the right to have them.
The 2nd Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms. (Arms is the PLURAL of arm) It doesn't say we can bear a sidearm. It doesn't say that we can bear a shot gun and a revolver. I can bear any number and any type of weapon that is available to an infantryman in the US military, with exception of fully automatic weapons such as machine guns and machine pistols. Since I have passed a background check, if my firearm du jour is small enough, I can conceal it on my person or in my glove box...fully loaded and ready to fire. And my permit is a Weapons Carry License...includes knives of any length, swords, pistols, revolvers, shotguns, rifles, baseball bats, boat paddles (actually a wicked weapon...especially if you strike with the edge of the flat end), ball peen hammers, screwdrivers, sharpened #2 pencils...the list is endless.

Need is a subjective term. Right is an objective term and is clearly defined. I have the right to bear arms. That right is guaranteed to me by the 2nd Amendment. It is not granted to me by the constitution...it is PROTECTED by the constitution no matter what you think my needs may be.
It is a post like yours that is the reason to respond to these threads....putting out actual, factual, arguments vs. the anti-gun extremist emotionalism is important.......everywhere you look you see the democrat party anti-gun talking points......Pro-Civil Rights supporters need the ability to see real, factual arguments in order to understand how to defeat the democrats....
