2nd amendment - don't jump the gun

peter is weird guy - not that he's from ireland, talks non-stop, jokes all the time. but he makes and sells guns, ak45, m16.... drive a military truck and planning to buy a tank.

when he was a big boy, he sold vibrators once. but he did not make any sale because he was quite naive about the thingie.

"how do you go into making guns?"

"oh... being in ireland, you tinkle with guns after you seen sunshine.... "

"and you are making guns legally in the u.s. and sell them?"

"well, it's like any other business, as long as you have a license. i have one, and all my guns are serialized, and i keep track of all sale and inventory. and every year they come and check me."

"what do you think, is the right of owning a gun a good thing?"

"sure, in america."

"why?"

"americans are still very closed up person. though you can say the society is an open society, but the people are still very individual, their ego-sphere is very big, once you cross into their ego-sphere, there's bound to be trouble."

"so guns can take care of that?"

"in a sense, it's a deterrence, apart from using it a a means to take the law into your hand. "

"but i thot the 2nd amendment is archaic, relic kind of law... originated when u.s. was still very much a part of old england, where people don't quite trust the government to protect them. now, things has changed, britain also has gun control law, what is the u.s. thinking?"

"they are thinking as what i'm thinking - i make gun for a living - they live to own a gun....."

- The Second Amendment reads: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
