We are given the right to keep and bear arms by our constitution. As NC Greg stated, our founding fathers granted Americans this right to prevent a tyrannical government from acting with impunity. American citizens have the right to arm themselves to protect us from a government aimed at taking over our rights for their own purposes. We also have the right to arm ourselves for our personal protection and the protection of our families. Supposedly, only law abiding citizens should have the right to own a pistol here, rifles are not as controlled, but as with all laws, they are not perfect or followed by irresponsible citizens.  

I feel very safe in my country. Though things are changing here, and not for the better. I appreciate the fact that I can arm myself for protection against someone larger, meaner, crazier, etc. than I am. As an American, I feel I have more freedom to do and to say what I want more so than anywhere else. That gives me the freedom to arm myself for protection, but I do have to consider others being armed as well.

Again, don't judge us by what you see in the media, movies, etc. There's a reason people from ALL over the world have been flocking here for many, many years. All countries have their problems and we are no exception.
