No one seems to be aware of when this amendment was written (back in the late 1700's) and that perhaps it should have been repealed by now. In the 1700's when this amendment was made into law it was because individuals used guns to hunt, to protect themselves from the Natives and to fight the British.
Yes, we have individuals who hunt; but, in the year 2013 we do not need to protect ourselves from the Natives or to fight the British. So why do we need guns? More importantly, why do we need military artillery as an individual?
There needs to be gun control - perhaps what we should be doing is repealing this amendment.
