first i woud like to point out it is my constitunional right to own a gun.
next why do we have this right? well that was put there by our founding fathers to 1. let the citizens of this country defend themselves against occupying force and 2. so that if this contry was to get so far outa hand as to becom a dictatorship that we as a people can rise up and overthrow our goverment.
basicaly it made every citezen responsible for defendig their rights.
