We have a right to bear arms, but there is still alot of controversy arising with this 2nd Amendment right. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and mine is that if you are a responsible human being, and you are using the weapon as protection and leaving it in a safe place with the right precautions than you can have one, and you aren't abusing the right to have one. But if you are going to obtain a gun and bad decisions and leave it in places where it is easily accessable to those who shouldn't have it than you are irrisponsible and shouldn't be allowed to carry one. But, how are we supposed to sift through these personalities and find out who is capable of following the guidlines. Well...that is the million dollar question now isn't is?

The right to bare arms and concealed as well is one of the few crazy laws Arizona has. Arizona does not even require a permit for this or to take any kinda of safety class for a gun owner.

The right to bear arms is in the constitution and how could the government change that in a good manner. I don't feel the problem is owning a gun, it it how people secure their guns at home. You can't have a gun at home and leave it accessable with children running around. We need to look at all the other causes of violence going into childrens heads like television and video games before we blame guns.
