The 2nd amendment is the most controversial...
Advertisements [?]
Everyone, everywhere has a different opinion on what the it protects... and people get very passionate when defending their stances

This is why I think it's so interesting to see what people think of gun rights. And this is a damn good site worth checking out about this: TheGunPoll.com. It's a poll about the 2nd amendment and gun rights with some pretty shocking results -- i wouldn't recommend it if i didn't like it so much

Yes, I did post this link before in the Guns Forum.. but I feel it relates to civil liberties too so i'm posting it again here too }(
