Read a really interesting comment on an article this weekend. Sorry I don't remember the article; it was a FB news feed share.
Essentially the poster argued that we 2nd amendment supporters should stop watering down our support. Most argue that hunting/sport shooting/collecting is the reason they support the 2nd amendment. Those are all fine reasons to support, but not what the founding fathers intended. The 2nd amendment was created to protect the citizens from tyranny originating within and without the country. Support should come from the basic right all people have to be free, and not just because you like guns. The fun aspect of firearms is just a bonus.
