Must be a horrible feeling to live in such fear. Place yourself in a gated community with nanny state protectors just because you dont have the balls to take responsibility for your own safety.
Thats where you are mistaken. I dont live in fear. I live in complete safety, as i live in a democracy, where I trust the system to work the way intended. I Planned my life around protecting my family, not jeopardizing them, like picking up stranded motorists and putting them in the front seat with my wife, using her as bait and my finger on the trigger of the steel courage i cant manage to leave the house without.
YOU call it "nanny state" and I call it a nice life. I dont have to worry about 2 hour response times because I want to live in the sticks like some isolated nut armed to the gills peeping out my windows every 5 seconds.
I dont look out my windows. I dont have to. I have dogs. I dont have to sleep with one eye open, I have alarms. I dont have to worry that my house gets broken into, I have replacement cost insurance, so I actually pray that happens.
You on the other hand, cant take a simple trip to the store without a gun attached to your body.
An inanimate object as YOU call it, yet, that inanimate object is your safety net. You cry like the rest of the armed old people on this board that guns dont kill people, YET, you carry one, just in case you have to kill someone for some justified reason.
I find it ironic that you want it both ways.
What I am still fascinated with, is your oblivious knowledge of the second amendment and its structure.
I do understand, that guys like you, want to read what you want to read, so, leaving out the commas, and the very nature of conjunction and syntax, then create a solid sentence (in your own mind) and post it on a board as if it really existed.
Notice how nobody else ventured into explaining it either. They cant. They, like YOU, know the commas exist and therefore, kills the rationale that the second amendment reads:
"..the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
Simple english bro, unless you want to tell us now that the founders were idiots and didnt understand the english language?

What is it about your arguing skills that puts you in this weak position? It was YOU that cited the second amendment, and I challenged you to explain it, and yet you run away.
The big difference between you and I is, I live in an america where I travel the country in total freedom, freedom to enjoy everywhere I go without having to worry about "drawing" a weapon and shooting somebody.
You dont, you cant and you wont.
You dont know what freedom is. You only know what it is like being a prisoner of your own mind.
TOS.
