now days in this world everything seems a little more dangerous than it used to be, people are constantly killing people and hurting people with guns, but on the other hand some people feel protected from those people by having a gun, so my question is do you think you have the right to bear arms?

Personally I don't use weapons, I am no good with them and would probably cause a problem if I used one, which comes down to the really basic point, if a person can handle a weapon, is competent with it, will not be a menace to society, of course they should be able to own weapons. The problem sometimes is people who don't know how to handle weapons, can create accidents with them or are just the type of person whom criminals will just take the weapons from them as they get nervous when they should use them.
Many people have been shot with their own weapons by the same people they are trying to defend themselves from.

I certaintly hope I have the right to bear arms? I come from a hunting family. We would be devastated if we could no longer hunt and gather our own meat. That would be tragic. I believe in the consitution.
