14. I can understand why they're terrified of regulation
even though reasonable regulation is neccessary.

In rabidly anti-gun states like NY and CA you have to basically kneel down and beg the government to exercise a constitutional right.

There are anti-gun extremists out there who don't believe in the right of self-defense. They have become so accustomed to a protected, pampered existence.. so trusting of authority.. they believe the gov't has a duty to protect them - it does not.

When the gov't decides to assume the responsibility of protecting each and every citizen, the 2nd Amendment can be repealed/modified - not before.
