This is an interesting speech which I think has a lot of truth in it. Delegate Nick Freitas, the liberty-minded conservative who is challenging Senator Tim Kaine, discusses the importance of the Second Amendment has been viewed over five million times in the past 24 hours.
Personally, I support 2nd amendment rights and my take on what our founders meant is fairly well voiced by the video I have in this section, which was recorded by Penn and Teller. The best book I have ever read on this subject is The War on Guns: Arming Yourself Against Gun
Control Lies, by professor John Lott, Jr. His original book, More Guns Less Crime should still be read by anyone who wishes to be well informed, by experts on BOTH SIDES of every issue, before deciding where the facts and emotional fallacies may be hiding. You should also read the article that I wrote, which is also on my web site, but which I have been unable to get published. Apparently I am being too reasonable and using too much common sense. The result is that the fanatics on both sides of this issue are not interested in publishing my article in any magazine I have submitted it to. Pharmaceutical drug side effects are one of the biggest reasons, very well documented but not very well discussed, for both suicidal and homicidal behavior. Even admitted to and listed as side effects by the manufacturers of the drugs!.
