the deeper that you dig into the issue, the more that you will find that the majority of people who defend their 2nd amendment right so vigorously are more concerned with the bigger issue at stake, government intervention/regulation. that is one of the biggest issues currently facing us in my opinion. it ties into most of the other major issues currently facing us, be it economic or foreign policies.
Government intervention and/or regulation is not a bad thing. Regulations are there to limit freedoms that harm others. It's one thing to live in a jungle, it's another when you choose to live in a civilized society. Remember that Texas fertilizer plant explosion? They had 1350 times more ammonium nitrate than regulations allow them to have. So that's Texas' lax regulations at work. Simply put, corporations and people just consider their own benefits, government should keep them in line to insure other people's rights and freedoms as well.
