And American was indeed won with words as much as guns--you know, Declaration of Independence, "Common Sense," and so on? Personally I think guns do more harm than good but I also think we shoudl grant the Second Amendment the broadest interpretation possible, just like the other nine. I don't think it protects us from government as much as the First, Fourth and Fifth, but it's still a right and it should stand. By the way, Wendy, you posted an almost identical comment to an early post of mine on gun rights. It was deleted--please say something fresh if you post again.

As a Jewess in the US, may I remind everyone that criminals are stopped by FIREARMS, not by talk? And that America wasn't won with a registered gun? That is why all REAL Americans put our 2nd Amendment FIRST!
