The 2nd Admendment

Let me start by saying sorry I haven't been posting, but ever since the election I have been mad, just like all the sane people in America.
I'm sure you have heard of "gun control" ever since the Newton shooting.  Well I'm here to shed some light on all of the madness. Some people think guns are evil and those people are pot-smoking hippies. And some people think that the 2nd amendment is only meant for self defense and recreational use like hunting, well those people are also wrong. In truth when the 2nd amendment was ratified we had just got done with something called a revolution. And people were afraid of going right back into tyranny by somebody else. And who is charged with the protection your rights, the government. And what happens if the government no longer protects those rights but instead infringes on them, who then has the responsibility to fight for those rights, the people. But no one expects to win a war with pistols and knives, especially if the government has the "assault rifles".
OK, so now say that they don't want to take our rights why do they want to take away assault weapons. They believe that it will cut down on homicides, and if you look at mass shootings they would be right. But out of thousands of homicides each year only about three-hundred are from assault rifles. And if you take away the assault rifles whose to say somebody can't bring a pistol, which is semi-automatic the same as the assault rifle.
Now why would somebody specifically target a school or a movie theater, besides other places with large amounts of people, Gun-free zones. A person cannot legaly carry a firearm within a one-thousand foot perimeter of a place of education, or government office. So you might say, well a movie theater is not a place of education or a government office. And I respond and say that you are correct, but I continue and ask you if you knew the gun policy. Because that theater was the only theater in that city that did not allow concealed weapons.
Criminals are not as dumb as people think and the police, which average one to every four-hundred people, cannot always be there right away, and since you should never have complete faith in your government, the constitution gave us the ability to defend our rights with guns.
