Gun control is a very contentious subject. It seems to be as divisive as politics or religion. Passions run deep. I am undecided as to how to approach gun control. Let's just hope that the Supreme Court doesn't allow stinger missiles. The Second Ammendment is an enigma and open to a wide range of interpretations. I think the ammendment should be viewed in the historical context in which it was written. If the British Crown had made gun ownership illegal in the Colonies, there would have been no American Revolution. It is no wonder that the framers of the Bill of Rights should have had a sentimental attachment to gun ownership. However, they could not have predicted the inventions to come two hundred years later in gun technology. Interestingly, the inventor of the Gatling gun, Dr. Richard Gatling, was motivated to design a rapid-fire (200 rounds per minute) machine gun during the Civil War as a means to end all wars. It was meant to be a horrific deterrent in the same way we like to view nuclear weapons now. It wasn't.
