The fact that the US is the main trading partner with just about any country that could ever want to invade is enough of a deterrent, not to mention our military. The charge of the armed citizenry is to look out for his or her fellow citizen. There are people on the left AND the right that don't like this idea. The 2A applies equally across parties and political ideology. Let's not polarize the issue. It's people that believe in taking responsibility for their own safety, versus those that prefer to call 911 and wait.

Don't polarize it? You're kidding.... right?
