Very good explanation of the meaning of the 2nd Amendment:

Also, an interesting letter to the editor of the Florida-TImes Union:

Clifford Johnson, inmate at Florida State Prison:
"If guns are banned, then I as a criminal feel a lot safer. When a thief breaks into someone's house or property, the first thing to worry about is getting shot by the owner. But now, it seems we won't have to worry about that anymore.

"Most convicts in [my] prison hope the gun control law [is adopted here in Florida] for the reason stated above. It is fantasy that just because guns are outlawed, we, the crooks, can't get guns. The only people who can't are the ones we victimize...drugs are against the law. Does that stop us? It's also against the law to rob and steal. But does a law stop us?

"One more thing: I thank you, the public, for giving me this fine opportunity to further my criminal career." Letter to the Editor, Florida-Times Union, February 4, 1982, in response to the Morton Grove, Illinois handgun ban.

Heh.
Maybe a few sheeple's eyes will open after reading what the criminals themselves are thinking.
On second thought, no; it won't make a bit of difference. :banghead:

Sad to say, you're right: they already have their alleged "minds" made up.

I question the legitimacy of this "criminals" letter. Looks like some well made propaganda. Because he is for gun control as a criminal then all of sudden he is against it(but still for it) by showing gun control's faults. But propaganda to give you more rights is one thing and to take away your rights is another.
