Although tragedies like those that happened in Newtown, CT are horrible the shooter, not the guns are to blame & the reason for the 2nd Amendment is NOT to protect 'hunting' rights or for 'home defense', but should the need arise to throw off the shackles of a tyrannical government. "A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." George Washington
