How do the following statements affect your thoughts on the 2nd Amendment?

I received these by email today from an old friend. This guy happens to be big into hunting and I don’t hunt at all and never have. I don’t even own a gun, but have encountered quite few women who have a gun on their person on in their car at all times. I am not posting this to be “convinced” to do anything. And I’m not lobbying for anything. I would simply be interested in comments pro or con in light of these comments.
