Wouldn't you want to keep the 2nd Amendment in place for those who may actually need it someday? You and I will probably be long gone, but what if it is needed 100 years from now and we let it just slip away because we didn't think it was no longer relevant? I hope that day never comes, but it may, and if it does I hope every American can defend themselves properly, and if that means with assault weapons so be it.

I believe the founding fathers knew exactly what was at stake, even if it sounds outdated now.
