Even before the Supreme Court grossly reinterpreted the second amendment and expanded it to the engorged, bloated carte blanche, free-for-all for the gun industry NRA monster it quickly became, and set the table for Congress to dine at the gun rights lobbyist buffet, Americans had the right to have one or two guns for protection.
I have never objected to anyone having a gun for self protection in his or her home. I don’t believe that anyone, however, should have combat weapons for anything. Even home protection. Why? Because they are combat weapons and were not created for general use other than combat. No. Your home is not a combat zone. At least not a sanctioned one.
