This is the left leaning Washington Post, admitting that without the government infringing on the right of American Citizens to exercise their 2nd amendments, it also keeps in check governments like Mexico, China or Russia, from ever trying to do to US what has happened to other countries.

Exactly what I was thinking. Do I need to justify any of my other Constitutional rights as guaranteed in the Bill of Rights?

I should own an AR15 because the government tells me I don't need one.

Good point.
