Well I guess I'll do this off of the top of my head...

"Gun Control

The right of US citizens to keep and bear arms for self-defense, responsible use, and hunting is essential to our liberty and protected under the Constitution. The Supreme Court's ruling that this only pertains to militias is invalid--a militia in 1787 was a group of private citizens with private arms that came together to ward off a threat and then disbanded. A militia in 2002 is a group of highly trained soldiers that are trained to kill. In addition, 99.98% of all legally owned guns will never be used in a crime, and 60% of criminals surveyed by the US Dept of Justice stated that had their victims been armed they would not have committed their crimes. Various dictatorship like Nazi Germany and Taliban Afghanistan have used gun control to terrorize their populations. Restricting the ownership of firearms is contrary to the belief in privacy and liberty that all US citizens hold dear."

Hopefully this doesn't start a flame war.
