Gotta love the pro-gun comments.  "The second amendment is the only 
thing standing between us and utter disintegration of the rest of the 
constitution!  Rawr!"  ...um...ok, but...why?  Having a Cause is all 
well and good, but libertarians being able to own a gun don't actually 
form a fundamental pillar of society in the US.  The rest of the Bill of 
Rights would not suddenly cease to exist if the 2nd amendment hadn't 
been in there.  You can get your panties in a bunch over your particular 
special interest group being denied what you feel are your fundamental 
rights, but the fact of the matter is *there are a lot of other people 
out there, too*, and when erosion of the rights of minority A does not 
equal erosion of the rights of minority B (or majority C), unless you 
have something like Political Correctness, nobody's going to care much.
