Let’s get down to basics. People kill people with guns. When the Second Amendment was written, guns were, primarily, muskets — not what we know as guns.
Almost the entire civilized world has limited guns, and the result has been fewer deaths by guns in each country. Simple, isn’t it?
The Constitution changes from time to time. Amendments can do that. |

Yet another oration delivered while standing on the soapbox of ignorance.
The 2A doesn't 'give' us the right, and repealing it would not and can not remove the right.
"The right there specified is that of 'bearing arms for a lawful purpose'. This is NOT a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it IN ANY MANNER dependent upon that instrument for its existence." (emphasis mine) - U.S. v. Cruikshank (1875) |

"Fewer deaths by guns in each country."
Really?
How's that working in Mexico? Syria? Iraq? Afghanistan? Russia? Brazil? |

TO REMEMBER |
| The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so. Indeed I would go so far as to say that the underdog is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order. — Adolf Hitler, April 11, 1942. (Source: "Hitler's Table-Talk at the Fuehrer's Headquarters 1941-1942", Dr. Henry Picker, ed. (Athenaeum Verlag, Bonn, 1951).) |
