2nd Admendment

I sit back and listen to what everyone is saying about gun control in light of the school shooting.

I am a firm believer in the 2nd amendment! 

It does not matter if you think a hunter should not need 30 rounds to kill something in the woods.

If someone passes all the state and federal requirements then they should be able to possess anything they want to.

I feel, I said "I", as I am speaking only for myself, part of the 2nd amendment is written to protect the citizens from the government.

The 2nd Amendment to these United States Constitution:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

In 2008 and 2010, the Supreme Court issued two landmark decisions concerning the Second Amendment.
In District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), the Court ruled that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to possess a firearm, unconnected to service in a militia and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. In dicta, the Court listed many longstanding prohibitions and restrictions on firearms possession as being consistent with the Second Amendment.
In McDonald v. Chicago, 561 U.S. 3025 (2010), the Court ruled that the Second Amendment limits state and local governments to the same extent that it limits the federal government.
