not to let killers shoot up churches and schools.

the well regulated militia is to protect freedoms, not to shoot for sport or murder.

The freedom is not having a gun.. the freedom is having a democracy.

which current lack of gun control threatens. Not just democracy, It threatens our very right to live, the first of all rights.
