Alright hopefully this question won't get flamed
So, after hearing the news of people always being shot, it questioned me: Should citizens be allowed to use guns?
Whats bad about it?
Usually every time you flick onto the news channel and probably hear of a death report, let's say, receiving a bullet in their body. Now if the government would to turn around before that death and say, "give us your arms [weapons]". Now obviously they can't do that because of Amendment 2:

Now you've heard of Trayvon Martin, (hopefully ) and George Zimmerman. Now if this didn't happen, would Treyvon and his family be in shambles? Now you might be telling me George was a officer, but he wasn't, he was a neighborhood watchman. Now there are more examples I could touch base on, but there are MANY of them. (Shooting by Empire State Building, etc.)
Whats good about it?
Lets say there is a burglary in your house in the middle of the night, what do you pick up? Either
A. A hard object
B. a knife
or C. A gun
Now that's self-defense. If you were caught in a bad situation face-to-face with a maruader , yeah, why not use it? But those chances are very slim, what else could you use it for that's good? Hunting animals. Simple, but that's basically it.
1. Hunting
2. Self-Defense.
How does the government feel about it?
Well back in the 1770's - 1800's they approved it (otherwise it wouldn't be in the Bill of Rights)
But today's government?
Obama doesn't approve of it

So that's all I have to say:
Debate!
