"America's per capita gun homicide rate in 2009 was 12 times higher than the average of Canada, Germany, Australia and Spain. Does anyone think that we have 12 times as many psychologically troubled people as they do in these countries?

But let's get away from the legal issues. Here's how I think about it.  One of the most important tasks for a government is to keep its citizens – especially its children – safe, on the streets and in their schools. Every other developed country in the world is able to fulfill this basic mandate. America is not. And the greatest tragedy is that we know how to do it."

-> You don't get it Fareed, do you? 2nd Amendment is the only way to ensure that the Govt. won't hold its citizens hostage.
