I just find it ironic that ultra-liberal, rabidly left-wing Americans talk about American freedoms expressed in the Bill of Rights -- most notably, the freedom of speech and freedom of the press, which are mentioned in the First Amendment.
However, these same individuals rail against the very thought of Americans owning guns. And that's not to say that I'm comfortable with the idea of guns in general, but there's a reason that the freedom to own guns is listed in the Second Amendment. Yup, that's right! Directly behind the First Amendment.
So you can't have it both ways -- keep referring to the Bill of Rights to make your point about the freedom of speech while simultaneously ignoring the Second Amendment that gives Americans the right to own guns. No picking and choosing!
Don't get me wrong, I think that it's necessary to have restrictions on the types of guns that Americans are allowed to own, and it's necessary to do background checks on individuals looking to purchase guns... But the bottom line is, if the "bad guys" want guns, they'll find a way to get them, whether they're legal or not. So how is it fair to the people who want guns for protection against these criminals to not be allowed to own them?
