In fact, innocent law-abiding citizens have protected their families, homes and businesses from roving bands of lawless idiots because, and only because, they have been armed. When a vast number of the police disappear like David Copperfield, leaving the city and surrounding areas without governmental protection, it is natural law that people have a right to defend the roots and meaning of their freedom: 1) family 2) home-property 3) movement, to name a few. The Second Amendment protects all of our other rights which we hold so dearly. Anarchy is not the result of guns. Guns are the cure to anarchy, restoring order, civilization and basic human courtesy. The anti-gun movement has been shot dead in this country -- good riddance to this tentacle of nannyism. And if it rears its arrogance, misguided head again, the mantra should be: VIVA' THE FRENCH QUARTER -- which has remained fairly well in tact (even putting on the Annual South Decadence Parade) because of wise people who prepared for an inevitable day that would include personal protection. God, I love this country and its people. Lets try to salvage the constitution from the neo-con cabal in this administration.
