Guns or No Guns?

     "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

     This is the Second Amendment. Written shortly after the Revolutionary War. After many people fought and died trying to become free from Britain. Many used their own guns. Mostly Muskets. Just think about its intent for a minute.

     I'm not here to debate whether or not there should be gun control. It's a hot button topic during these times of elections and civil unrest. Mass shootings.
I don't believe that the government, especially this president, is trying to come and take people's guns away. He has said so. But does anyone really need an AK47 to exercise their "right" to bear arms? There are guns available that can kill an intruder just as well as something that fires anywhere from 40 rounds per minute to 600 rounds. Who needs that? Soldiers maybe. I don't think that the founding fathers, if alive today, would agree that it's the right of every gun owner to have these automatic and semi-automatic weapons freely available.
The government just wants to regulate the sales of these, as with other guns. If you have a clear background, no problem. You can buy a gun. Just not any gun.
     "Whoa. Hold on partner. Second Amendment says I should be able to have any type of gun I want."
     I realize that people that would wish harm on others will find a way to get a weapon. But why make it easy to get guns that can kill mass amounts of people in a short period of time? It makes no sense!
     People need to educate themselves. Myself included. But it was never said that guns were going to be taken away. Click on the link below and hear for yourself the president's explanation. I know some will choose to not believe it. Think it's a bunch of BS. Some have already made up their minds. No changing it. But if not, just watch and listen. It is more relevant today after the horrific event in Orlando. Maybe it will make more sense. Again, just my opinion. I am only exercising my First Amendment right.
