I like owning a gun. I don't think people should be able to take Uzi's to baseball games or nightclubs. I could say that you have been "brainwashed" by right wing extremists who seem to deny the fact that the Constitution has evolved over time but unlike those on the extreme right, I don't have to insult or demean everyone who disagrees with me. So I'll just assume that like me, you formed your opinion based on personal insights and experiences. Me? I've been stabbed once and shot twice by gang-bangers in high school. So what is the solution? Arm all the kids in high school? How about my friend who was shot in a bar? Arm all the drunks? When the Constitution was written, there was no such thing as a police force in America. We'd just fended off the British. Guns were needed for food every bit as much for protection. "Wild savages" were killing settlers all over the place. Now, for every crime stopped with a gun, over 10,000 are committed with one. So while I respect your opinion, I simply disagree with it. This has nothing to do with liberal left-wing brainwashing or whatever other crap you care to hurl in my direction. It is just my opinion.
