The Right to Bare Arms

     I have always been for gun control like Canada especially after what happened today, but at the same time I believe in the second amendment.  I think that both Obama and Romney do not even want to go there, because the constitution has been messed with enough.
     Two years ago I was assaulted on my own street by some crack addicts.  I put my hands in fists and defense mode against the woman who was verbally assaulting me and threatening to "kick my ass" so that she could not injure my one eye.  I am legally blind and totally blind in my right eye, so I did not want to get hit in my one good eye.  I did not see it coming because it was from the right, but her boyfriend hit me upside the right side of my head.  Then he began screaming and swearing at me.  I had not even seen him.  I defended myself verbally until I realized I was still in danger and ran for home as fast as I could.  The neighbor witnessed this, and told the police.  I pressed charges and the police made them leave the neighborhood.  I was traumatized for a long time. 
     I was in a pawn shop with a friend and I bought some mace.  She did as well.  I was looking at a pistol under the gun counter, and I said, "I want a gun."  
     She said, "you can't see." 
     I said, "oh, yeah."
     What I am saying is as horrible and tragic as this is, I do not think that the second amendment should be overturned.  I really do not, not after being attacked like that.
