The Second Amendment's guarantee of the fundamental human right of the individual to keep and bear arms was not, of course, included in the Bill of Rights primarily to protect the homeowner's ability to defend his home from common thugs. While that protection is certainly a laudable side benefit, the thuggery of those who would threaten "the security of a free state" is on a much larger scale than typical hoodlums can realistically aspire to.That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner. Please give it a look, and tell a friend.
To get an idea of that scale, see this chart (pdf file), courtesy of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO). So, while "we'll never know how many lives have been saved" by the right to keep and bear arms, we do know that 170 million were destroyed by tyrannical, evil governments--in the 20th century alone--strongly abetted by the government monopoly on force, so beloved of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (CSGV).
