Proliferation inevitably prompted gun control laws. Our 182-year history of taxing, licensing, restriction, purchaser records, background checks, and gun owner protections is lengthy, and can be found on internet websites such as thoughtco.com. State and federal governments have struggled to balance the rights of all citizens alike, pursuant to the Second Amendment’s protection for weapons carried for self-defense. |

| What do you say that we don't make any more "Feel Good" laws, and just enforce the laws that are already on the books....including the one where public servants knowingly and willfully break their Oath to deprive law abiding citizens of their Constitutional rights. |

As the SCOTUS recognized in 1875, the people's right to go armed for lawful purposes wasn't granted by the Constitution, it was assumed arguendo to preexist the nation's founding, and the Second Amendment was enshrined to foreclose the government from infringing its exercise. In other words, the Second Amendment exists to remind the government that the right is fundamental, and cannot be materially abridged.
Were the Second Amendment to be repealed or amended further, the status of the right would not change - it would still be fundamental, and it would still be endowed in the people, not in the government.
If you wish to have a serious debate about methods to attenuate violence, you must first accept that reality.
Then we'll talk. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
