[QUOTE="brainmap@earthlink.net, post: 41738, member: 2664"] Hi folks - I am a political progressive. In 1992 my oldest son was gunned down in LA as he was (foolishly) trying to intervene in a robbery. That event got me thinking about guns and the Second Amendment. My conclusions: The Second Amendment gives each individual the right to own firearms of any kind. We would be insane to give up this right. We cannot let it be curtailed. Given the sort of world that we live in now, I do not see any viable alternative. When I consider anyone attacking my wife, my children, my friends, pacifism is not an answer. An observation: We are bombarded daily with warnings about terrorists. At the same time, there is this strong sentiment against even responsible gun ownership. It would appear that both Republicans and Democrats want us helpless and perpetually frightened. Owning a firearm, training with it, knowing how to use it if it becomes necessary - that is the way back from servile fear and dependency. [/QUOTE]
