Alan Keyes gave a spirited defense for the 2nd ammendment against the gun grabbers during the second Illinois Senate debate with Barack Obama.

I will state boldly, though, that I am a supporter of the Second Amendment, and I believe strongly that law-abiding citizens should have their right to keep and bear arms left intact.

The gun control mentality is ruthlessly absurd. It suggests that you pass a law which will bind law-abiding citizens. They won't have access to weapons. Now, we know that criminals, by definition, are people who don't obey laws. Therefore, you can pass all the laws that you want. They will still have access to these weapons, just as they have access to illegal drugs and other things right now. That means you end up with a situation in which the law-abiding folks can't defend themselves, and the crooks have all the guns.

To bad their is no chance of him getting elected. Until the people in Illinois do something about the crooked Cook County Democrats nothing will change
