"Thanks for the link, paulsen."

First, I didn't give you this link. I referenced a different page.

Second, your link goes to the wrong page. The verbage you quoted comes from here. FReepers would be well advised to go to the correct page to see your excerpt in context.

Third, the author presents this scenario "as a way to spark discussion of the topic."

Fourth, I think the author is correct -- I think that our society views our freedom to bear arms as those arms "reasonable for hunting, sport, collecting, and personal defense". I believe that society neglects the fact that the primary purpose of the second amendment was to protect against tyranny.
