when are we going to wake up as a people and see, that the 2nd amendment says "shall not be infringed" that means no laws of any kind, and yes i do want a libertarian government, because that is what my founding father were, and our constitution is, so any law (prepare yourself) is a terroristic attack on our rights and anyone who enfores such is one. (am i now the enemy because i tell you the truth), what happened to the oath of I promise to protect the constitution from both foreign and domestic attackers.
The nature of an ever expanding government, combined with a citizenry that is more interested in Dancing with the Stars, has led to new "interpretations" of the 2nd amendment and others. For some reason, people (even some gun supporters) have been warped into believing that the government should regulate (i.e. license) our constutitional freedoms because people do not have "training" or the intelligence to handle such freedom.
I have spent extended periods of time in the states of Arizona and New Mexico (both allow Open Carry), and when I have encountered individuals carrying a firearm I was not the least bit concerned. If I recall, the President had a rally in Phoenix several months ago and a guy open carried his AR-15 to protest....(I must admit that is a little too aggressive of a statement for me, even though I can't stand the current administration) BUT nothing happened and the individual was not harassed because he was fully in his rights in the state of Arizona.
And no, I am not saying I want to live in the wild west, nor do I want to legalize RPGs for my next door neighbor. And yes, the government can and should regulate certain things. For instance, the privledge of driving etc etc.
Lastly, I would think that everyone agrees that firearm users should get training (and the more the merrier). And the training should not be a one-time thing, we should repeat our training on occasion as a good refresher.
