That's what the founders of this country thought as well. Now, because of some few incident, you expect the American people to become submissive to the government? Let's recall: "Rule by the people." The people want to have their guns. Granted, it can't be an AK-47 or an AUG, but there is nothing wrong, shouldn't be anything wrong, with a pistol. You might as well take a shit on the US Constitution and call it a day.
