Imagine you're living in a different country, with no 2nd Amendment. Nobody
can own guns, at least not legally. Now imagine somebody advocates allowing
'anyone' to walk into a gun store, buy a gun and ammunition. Somebody else
points out that if a person can buy a gun, he can walk out of the store, load
the gun, and shoot to death anyone he sees on the street. Does that
circumstance justify not changing the laws to what we have in America, today?
I say, "no". The mere existence of a possible negative scenario doesn't mean
that such rights shouldn't exist.

Why will they need that? Will they do any good?
