It was written to insure that citizens were able maintain weapons similar to what the military has at the time to insure against a tyrannical government. Being former military and doing the job that I do now in the East Los Angeles area, I can tell you from frontline experience gun laws do not affect criminals ability to access firearms not firs it affect their decision to use them. Only people it prevents from owning them is me and you and we're not the ones going to go rob a bank.

Anyone who believes that by prohibiting law abiding CCW permitted citizens from carrying in certain locations, that this will somehow also deter the criminal element, ought to have their sanity questioned.
