I would never ADVOCATE for a total ban nor would I oppose one. A ban would not hurt my feelings one bit but that is not a goal of mine.

I would like to see clarification on the "well regulated militia" phrase and some upper limit on "arms".

What I TRULY dislike is all the derision and ridicule that is constantly thrown at the the groups (and individuals) who are trying to work towards curtailing gun violence. IMHO, that has no place on DU.
