I'm in a lit 200 class and have to do a paper on something. I have to have resources cited in the paper, blah blah blah. So, I have decided to do my paper on why the second amendment is important and ment never to be changed, or along those lines. My teacher is a good teacher, and is open to all views(which surprised me), but when we talked along the lines of my issue there were a few hippies in the class that spoke up and spouted some bs, to which I quickly made them look ridiculous with some things I had to say. Anyway, I have about 10 different sources so far and probably plenty of information to do well more than 5 pages. This is not a paper with a ton of statistics and numbers, although I plan on throwing some in. Anybody out there got some good sights with either ideas on the 2nd or even a few stats. I haven't looked an stats up yet. Oh, the 1st draft is due tuesday at 8am...yes I procrastinate and put things off...hell, I've only had 2 weeks to do this so far:D

You could do far worse than citing (note I said citing NOT copying :) ) from the Amicus briefs for the Heller case that just went before the Supreme Court. They're all available on-line here.
