Shooting is fun, that's my argument. Regarding self defense, In mid-January some pint-sized meth addict broke into our house at 4 AM while me and my family were asleep. None of us woke up, and he made off with one of our bikes and a 25kg bag of diving equipment. In the end he got arrested by the police and we got our stuff back, but I sometimes consider what would've happened if the break-in had woken me up and if I'd of grabbed out my shotgun in time to catch him in our garage.
Most safes are relatively fast to open these days, since they can be fingerprint scanners or keys or electric keypads. I agree with a waiting period and background checks, but ultimately people will do what they want. I think that education is the best way to go about solving some of the issues with gun control. Educate them when they're young about the rights and responsibilities carried by having something like the second amendment in our country, and the consequences which are carried with malicious intent of this right. If someone is convicted of a felony or crime with their firearm, they can no longer own one legally, and lose possession of any and all firearms in their custody.
The question of fully automatic firearms which I believe Jeffereys brought up in his comedy, is that they are even harder to get. You need to send an amount of money to the ATF along with a ton of forms and fingerprints as you go through a background check not preceding ten months. Then there's the deal of actually buying an automatic. They haven't been manufactured for civilian use in this country since 1986, which means that they can cost an upwards of $10,000 and more for a law-abiding citizen to purchase. Sometimes they're completely illegal, in states such as California or Conneticut.
One other thing about the constitution is that the founding fathers knew that the country would change in their beliefs and technology, which is why they made room for additional amendments/changes to the constitution. There was no exception in the amendment about the right to keep and bear arms, the purpose being to protect oneself from all enemies, foreign and domestic; and to prevent government atrocities.
"You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass."
- Isoroku Yamamoto, Marshal Admiral and Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Japanese Navy 1901–1943
Anyway, just my two cents.
