guns kill,people with guns kill,you dont need a gun to pick your nose or paint the house or to live nicley with your nighbours,you need guns to kill,im running over my head and barring a starter pistol for races or a flare gun,what other types of gun uses are there other than to kill people and stuff,i guess at a stretch if you needed to make some round holes in somthing for pegs or bolts you could use a gun,i know nothing of america history for the very true reason i really couldnt care less,but i get the impression this consitisumin thing you keep reffering to ,is pretty old,and when it was written hadnt your people been wiping the natives out there and killing eachother a lot,which required guns,as it involved killing,and every person there had a weapon for nessecity,then some goverment forming and taxing people all over and to give the plebs some cause for security,they say private citizens can keep there weapons,as back then it was all touch and go wether this union thingy would work and people be more likley to agree to it if they dont pull there own teeth out by giving up the only means they had for personal safty and security,remembering that a gun in that time was like owning some kind of spaceage threat deterrent today,times change and so should the laws,give it a blink in the planets lifeline and youll start sounding like some religous zealots hanging on to the dated words of some long dead prophet
