Amy There are limitations on the First Amendment NOW. There should be - and will be - limitations on the Second Amendment as well

There already _ARE_ limitations on the Second Amendment

No one without the proper, expensive, licenses & permits can even own an actual mil-spec "assault weapon"
Background checks are mandatory for FFL holders no matter where they're selling their weapons.
No one under the age of 21 can purchase a handgun, to purchase your own long arm you must be 18.
Even those who have CCW permits can not carry into government buildings.

Those are all limits on the Second Amendment

Do people still get killed? Yes.

I will take restrictions over unbridled behaviour any day.

It is interesting to note positions regarding freedoms.

My point exactly. We are proof of that fact.
Gun Appreciation Day, a grassroots movement started in response to President Obama and Washington Democrats' recent rhetoric on gun control, drew big crowds to state capitols nationwide that consisted of strong supporters of the Second Amendment. The show of strength by gun supporters couldn't go unnoticed.

Thousands showed up in New York, where Governor Andrew Cuomo recently signed a new strict gun control measure designed to make "assault weapons" illegal and limit magazine sizes. In areas of the country where open-carry is allowed, supporters proudly - and responsibly - exercised their Second Amendment rights.
