Our Founding Fathers knew power would corrupt. They placed the 2nd admendment in the Bill of Rights to protect the people from a corrupt government. Look at Hitler, he promised the people the government would protect them, he collected their guns, then marched 6 million people to their deaths. It could happen here. A week ago, a 80 year old femlae got her gun and held a 20 year old burglar at gun point until the police arrived. I am a retired peopce offcier with 30 yers and I know guns protect people.
