The more laws against guns there are, the more power the black market has over the people who just want to keep their family safe from break ins. The real criminals will ALWAYS find a way to stay armed while the good are left defenseless.

Being the second amendment ranks up there as important.  Our right to have a gun was originally made to make sure the government knew they needed to stay in check.  We are letting them loose their fear of the people.

There is nothing more important than the right to  arm bears.

according to the 2nd amendment, the right to keep and bear arms should not be abridged. if you want to enact gun laws, amend the 2nd amendment. until then, keep your filthy hands off my guns.

One of the most important issues there is This amendment guarentees our freedom as a nation

Very, very, very important. "An armed society is a polite society."

I support this amendment although I support backround checks.

Ever since the 'super soaker' incident of 92, I have never been a big fan of guns but I truely do believe in the right to bear arms. Most accidents are cause by irresponsible owners.

The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered as the palladium of the liberties of a republic... Justice Joseph Story

A citizenry should be armed. . .the second amendment is a good thing- but I rate this one real low because I don't see the 2nd amendment under seige or rights to own pistolas being taken away. . .I also don't think people should own bazookas either. . .it's not an issue to me because I don't percieve a threat. . .I should be allowed to own a gun (whether I want to or not is something else)- and I should license (sp?) them as well. . .

The Katrina mobs in New Orleans show that barbarians are just around the corner, and you must be ready to act to protect yourself, family and property.

The state is not going to help you when the chips are down. The state wants to protect itself against YOU!

The right to bear arms is one thing if your living in a country that is emerging from colonial rule. It's a right that not everyone should have and yet a lot of the wrong people are very well armed

The right to one's life and the ability to defend it is the heart of American politics.

While I think this is important, like all of our Constitutional rights, I would hardly call this a burning issue at the moment.
