Our founding fathers felt necessary to write in as our 2nd amendment to the constitution, right after freedom of speech, the right to bear arms. This amendment was written in for several reasons: To allow people to hunt and feed themselves, to protect their lives against others of criminal intent, and to protect themselves against a hostile government. At the time the constitution was written, the framers were very suspicious of having a government that was too powerful or intrusive, and for good reason. Those who left England in pursuit of freedom for tyranny knew all too well of the value of the Bill of Rights.
The first ten amendments to the constitution are called the bill of rights for a reason. These limitations serve to protect the natural rights of liberty and property. They guarantee a number of personal freedoms, limit the government's power in judicial and other proceedings, and reserve some powers to the states and the public. People forget about the initial intent of our greatest leaders. The framers of the constitution could have never imagined the great country we have today, however they did foresee the security of its people. Our government, largely elected by the people are supposed to for the people. Examining the “Pledge of Allegiance”… the very words of what it stands for are important. It is a pledge of allegiance to a flag, which stands for freedom of its people and a United States of people, not a united states of government. I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” Gun ownership and other essential rights afforded us by the framers of the Constitution of the United States should not be ignored or tramped upon by persons with their own agendas, or by enemies of the states and it’s populous. For far too long we, as a country, have been sliding down the slippery slope of liberalism masquerading as freedoms. The agendas of those who oppose the constitution and it’s framers intent are the true enemies of the state and it’s people. Gun ownership for law-abiding citizens is a right and a responsibility enjoyed by those who have benefited from much wiser and more distinguished lawmakers.
Don’t tread on us.

I don't see why it's limited to "law-abiding citizens". If someone commits a crime and are caught, they are punished for it. Limiting their rights forever is being punished twice, and forever.
If they commit crime after crime after crime, I can see where someone tells him 'you can't play with guns anymore'. You use them for evil.
But to have the 2nd amendment right TAKEN AWAY for non-violence is just not right. Just another way of disarming a group who made a mistake, and got caught.
11:18 I see what you're getting at. Except, IMO, anyone who has a felony on their record has proven that they lack good decision making skills. That should exempt them from purchasing a regulated firearm. Especially ANY drug (prescription or other) or alcohol related charges.
