Correct. So back to the original point, why do so many Americans feel the need to own guns?
Just one more thing. Can you understand why a slave might have felt the need to own a gun?
Yes, they were directly attacked by others with guns.

If thats the case then every American should be armed with a nuclear bomb, or at the very least rocket launchers. Goverments dont care at all about the threat of guns anymore.
Makes sense Owen, I knew the history but not that the second amendment was to form a militia. Makes sense but quite clearly is no longer required.
There is no need to jump to extremes. If governments don't care, then I don't see what there is any fuss about.
And matching the force of government is not the only reason for owning a gun, so let's move out of 'carrying a nuke around with ya' to self defense from an intruder or a car-jacker or a nut flippin his wig on drugs seeing things chase them, or some pussy who is scared to get in a fight and is carrying a gun illegally.

The sarcastic clapping is a bit extreme when you've spent over an hour to get me to say something I already started with.

What has happened to our culture that one, lone Army vet, namely, Chris Mitz, fought back heroically trying to save other students. Sure he got shot, but there is no telling how many lives he saved grappling with the gun- wielding goon. What has happened to our culture is we have been systematically pussified. And that needs to change, STAT.

You started with 'people need guns to protect themselves from others with guns' and I ended it with 'yup, that is exactly the reason people feel the need to own a gun'
cheers

I don't expect much from Ted Nugent, but would it kill you to do a little research before you spread his drivel?
‘It’s not a gun-free zone': Firearms were common on Umpqua Community College campus
Do you really want to have this guy as your spokesperson?
