I believe our founding fathers created the 2nd Amendment for a very good reason — and it serves a vital purpose in providing for the security and stability of our nation. The 2nd Amendment and the liberty it secures must be protected. I believe there are some reasonable, common sense measures that we can take to make sure our schools and neighborhoods are safe from criminals, terrorists, and mentally disturbed individuals. Confiscation of legally owned guns from law abiding citizens is wrong and allows violent criminals to have the upper hand.
