Gun Nation ~ America's Love Affair with Firearms

The USA (for all of its contradictions, faults, hypocrisies, sins, etc) is a federal constitutional republic with a written Constitution that guarantees (not grants) the basic human rights that its people were born with (including the right of self defense).the 2nd amendment is there for when the government becomes corrupt that the people are protected against such tyranny that is happening currently.

2.5 million times per year in the U.S. someone defends their life, their families life or property using a firearm. 99.9% of the time no one is killed. Compare that to 33,000 firearm deaths only about 11,000 being homocides. Are you suggesting that we put 2.5 million Americans at risk to save 11,000 lives?
