The following should be of concern to you even if you don't own guns and don't plan to ever own guns. Because -- although the Leftmedia do their level best to cover it up, and they lie like crazy about it, very often "the only thing that stops a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun."

Remember that this country was founded by free people who owned guns and were able to defeat the British Army, to a large degree because the colonists owned guns that were more accurate out to a much greater range, and they could shoot them better than the British soldiers and their mercenary partners.

This article is from Gunpowder Magazine:

Corporate gun control is a very real danger. David French, writing recently in National Review, declared it "…a threat that can choke off financing for the gun industry, stifle speech about guns, and lock the gun-rights community into offline (and small online) ghettos that restrict their ability to communicate.”

GPM, with the help of other pro-gun groups, has compiled a growing list of anti-gun businesses those who value their Second Amendment rights should boycott. You can also click here to sign a petition to boycott these companies.

This list will be updated as more companies move to restrict their customers’ rights to keep and bear arms.

The article contains quite a list of companies you might want to stay away from due to their behavior on gun control. Walmart is one, I'm sad to say, because I am frequently in there. Target is another.

Oh, and the Second Amendment mention of militias? That was because it was hoped (didn't turn out that way, though) that the country would never have to rely on a standing army, but if necessary to defend itself be able to call upon militias formed for the purpose, already well-trained (that's what "well-regulated" meant in those days). The citizens who made up those militias would, of course, supply their own weapons -- because it was their God-given right to keep and bear them. And during the rest of the time they would use them to obtain food, since the countryside was teeming with game. Any citizen who did not own a gun and shoot it well was in danger of starvation.

All this stuff about the militias was spelled out in greater degree in the Articles of Confederation, which the Constitution replaced, and the fact that it wasn't emphasized to a greater degree in the Bill of Rights is that the Founders truly felt it was a matter of common sense.
