Lastly, guns can be employed recreationally if utilized properly and their use should not be repealed.  Firearms are employed in several entertaining fields, such as hunting and target practice.  Why should a few paranoid senators be able to repeal the leisure of many because of the mistaken decisions of a few?  Also, if we allow stricter laws on armaments, pro-gun control activists could begin viewing other entertainments as “potentially dangerous” such as paintball and cap guns.  This could lead to the squelching of more civil liberties such as the right to assemble, as it could cause the public to gain “dangerous mindsets” or the right to a trial by jury because the judge “knows what’s best for the plaintiff.”  As the author Lyle Myhur said, “When they took the 4th Amendment I was quiet because I didn’t deal drugs.  When they took the 6th Amendment, I was quiet because I am innocent.  When they took the 2nd Amendment I was quiet because I didn’t own a gun.  Now they have taken the 1st Amendment and I can only be quiet.”

Citizens should be permitted to bear arms because they offer securities, the populace should not be subjected to the liberal standpoint on the gun control issue, and firearms can be used recreationally.  Guns protect us not only from the common criminal, but from the creation of a tyrannical government.  Armaments are viewed negatively and citizens should not be subjected to these faulty arguments.  Finally, weapons are employed in several legal recreational activities.  Therefore, we should defend our right to bear arms for the protection of ourselves and our basic liberties in this country.
