Beetle, I was wondering if you would please do me the honor of presenting why, exactly, you think the 2nd Amendment came to be? And, I suppose, why it still exists?
Feel free to post a link to a previous post if you'd like, or just copy it here, or come up with something fresh. I'm not picky.
I have my own opinions on the importance of the 2nd Amendment (I think it could be very well argued that it is the most important one), but I'd just like to hear yours.
I'm not trying to personal attack you, but it's just that when a gun control thread pops up (which I don't generally follow since I don't own a gun anyway), you're usually a guy who seems to pop up against firearms.
