I was talking to my sister in law today about gun stuff. The way I see it, the 2A doesn't have much life left, especially if nothing changes. Certainly when the high schoolers of today are in the political realm, they're going to dramatically restrict (or altogether eliminate) firearms. I'm not in support of an outright ban (I do like my toys), but I wouldn't necessarily oppose it, either, since I see it as sort of an inevitability. But for the sake of preserving the 2A, people best start getting ahead of the curve and thinking about (and supporting) "reasonable" gun regulation.
(and if you're going to ban 'assault weapons' you may as well ban all semi-autos. not that i agree with it, but i see an AWB as just cherry picking the flavor of the week so to speak. banning all semi autos is at least more consistent IMO).
