Practical safeguards to the Second Amendment do not threaten its repeal. In fact, reasonable gun control measures would ensure its continuance, since the current out-of-control trajectory could lead to too extreme counterbalancing.
The right to bear arms and self-defense is what long guns and handguns are for. Assault weapons are not the weapon of choice for self-defense or for hunting. Their only uses are for enjoyment and mass murder. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
