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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
