I am and always have been completely against gun control. If one notices in any communist, socialist regime they take away all guns. That is so the Government can control. The second amendment is for one reason, so the populace can overthrow the government if they think it's gone out of control.

I am also against gun control. It strikes me as truly amazing that there are people that need the supreme court to interpret the second amendment.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
What is a well regulated militia? Why is regulating the militia necessary to the security of a free state? Who would reign in an out of control militia? What would we need in order to control an out of control militia?
A well regulated militia is an armed force that carries out the orders of the state (i.e. the government) in the process of protecting the interests and freedoms of the citizens. (Once they begin infringing on the rights and freedoms of citizens they open themselves up to the next part of the amendment.)
If not regulated, as indicated here kept in tow by the people, the militia has the power to intimidate and even eliminate any resistance to them - even if their intentions are not constitutional.
If the national guard comes to your town in an effort to take your town hostage - who are you gonna call? It will be up to the citizens to take up their weapons and defend themselves from the unregulated militia. Try doing that with a pencil or a screwdriver. I hate to be the one to bear the bad news, but if you've given up all your guns you are so screwed.
Those who support gun control are not only giving up a method of defending themselves, they are giving up the ability to help us keep the government from becoming oppressive.

The only two enemies guns have are Politicians and Rust.
