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. I believe that we should keep the second amendment, but I believe that we should only permit certain guns to be made. Rifles, shotguns, and some pistols are practical, but other guns that are made available to civilians are just asking to be used to kill someone.

If theyre getting them illegally now they will still be able to get them illegally then. So actually the only person that you are affecting, well actually two, is the consumer and the producer. It will affect the economy by putting major gun manufacturers out of business, which in turn will cause thousands of people to lose their jobs. Hunting is a tradition in America. Our ancestors hunted to survive. Today we dont necessarily do it to survive but we do eat the meat and enjoy the hunt. It gives us time to bond with our friends and or family.

People go out there for every different hunting season. They come from all over the world and pay money for every animal they take off the propert...
