Depends on your interpretations. There's nuts on both sides of the debate. You have the extreme opponents that think they should outlaw all guns on the premise that the only purpose for them is to kill someone, defending yourself or not. Then there's the proponents who think if they don't have a gun strapped on their side at the ready, it's assured someone is going to attack them at any moment, and they won't be able to defend themselves. I personally have no issue with someone owning a gun for personal protection in their home. I have a couple just for that reason.
I don't agree with the fanactics who think they have to stock up with 15 weapons, some of them assault rifles designed specifically for military conflicts, and then say they need them for protection. Protection from what? You expecting a Korean or Al-Qaeda invasion, and you want to be prepared?
I also get a kick when I go to Academy or Bass Pro Shops, and you see these guys on cell phones talking to their buddies about what ammo is in stock. They can't just buy a round that will knock down anyone or anything they hit. They want the 2000 grain, steel cased, armored pearing ballistic version. The gun fanatics are so paranoid Obama is going to take their precious AK-47's or even 9mm pistols from their 'cold dead hands', they run amok buying every possible version of ammo available. They'll never be able to use it all in their lifetime, but by golly it'll be there if they need it.
