The latest school shooting led some pro-gun politicians to speak out against the AR-15. "I have hunted all my life," Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., said on the Senate floor Thursday. "But an AR-15 is not for hunting. It's for killing."
1) Bill Nelson is NOT a "pro-gun politician".
2) The purpose of the Second Amendment is not limited to, or even primarily about, hunting. It's main purpose is to insure that the people have a contemporary means to exercise the right of self-defense and to serve as a deterrent to tyranny. |

| He loses all credibility when he starts talking about hunting without killing something and says the AR15 is "massively powerful". From there it all goes downhill. |

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
