All the second amendment provides now is a semi-reasonable excuse your the paranoid like marleypumpkin to shoot up his local post office with an assault rifle.

I strongly believe in civil disobedience, I don't encourage shooting rampages. You'll see what my argument is being based around if you review what I am saying, I am basically defending a person's right to choose for themselves to own a gun or not. Forgot about guns for a moment, let's talk about medical marijuana. I feel it's the right of ANY individual who has a terminal illnesss to use ANY form of medicine that brings them relief. I simply am defending the choice of people, rather than policies set by higher ups for the rest of the majority.
