86. Civil right?
Firstly, the 2nd amendment STILL...AFTER 200 odd years, does NOT say that an individual has a right to a gun for purposes other than membership in a local militia...its crazy people who say otherwise.

Secondly, why is it a right to own a gun? Why isn't it a right of Americans NOT to be shot??? Why isn't it a right of the poor and disenfranchised to have a life and the prospect of a better future? Why isn't it a right to take the drugs you desire to take without interference from the government?
