Do you believe that American citizens have the right to own a gun?

Yes, I do.  I do not think that American citizens have the
right to own any gun without any exceptions or rules, but I do see the right to have a
gun as something that is pretty fundamental to our sense of
liberty.

I do not mean this to say that I think that guns
are useful for protecting us against a tyrannical government.  That's a bit ridiculous
given that the government has tanks and helicopters...  But I do think that being able
to have a gun if you want one is a right that we should have just as we have the right
to have a motorcycle if we want one.  We should have the right to have and do anything
we want as long as it is not something that is basically
illegal.

Guns have all sorts of uses that are legal. 
Therefore, there is no reason to say "oh, guns can be used for crime, we should ban
them."

I should mention that I see this as a pretty
generalized right coming out of the whole idea of privacy and doing what you want -- I
don't really see this as a Second Amendment thing only.
