If gun deaths and violence are declining, why do you feel that more guns are needed? Are you defending against a declining threat with ever more guns? Explain that logic.

And this:

Only because The Controllers ignore the FACT that the vast majority of constitutional scholars and historians see the 2nd as an individual right rather than a collective right. And we all know how right-leaning academia is now, don't we?

is your opinion. Unsupported by the SCOTUS prior to Heller, and a restricted right after Heller.
