It's way past time to modernize the Second Amendment. Yes people kill people; guns don't kill people. But guns don’t go off by themselves.
Guns in the hands of people are dangerous, even in the hands of people who are trained in their use. I'm certainly not advocating disarming the police. However, the recent killing of a Dallas, Texas individual in his own apartment by a policewoman is just the most recent demonstration how things can go wrong concerning guns.

This guy believes that the government can guarantee your safety, therefore, we don't need the second amendment.
He must live in a bubble. People are assaulted, raped and murdered every day.
The only people that believe that we don't need the second amendment are liberals, kooks, and the much fewer then a million morons.
I for one would keep the second amendment as it was originally intended, not as the liberals have already eviscerated it.

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
