Mass shootings have become institutionalized as an almost normal part of American life, as have the responses to such shootings. After each massacre, victims, their families and gun-control advocates bemoan the latest atrocity and call for background checks and a ban on assault weapons. Gun rights advocates oppose such reforms and stand behind the Second Amendment. |

Bullpuckey history.
Not that there wasn't a lot of atrocities in our history. ALL countries are - or were - born in sin.
America does not have the sin market cornered.
Slavery existed long before America.
All cultures that migrate clash, one wins, another dies. And the people in those cultures had their own weapons as well.
We know why the founders wrote the second amendment.
Read THE FEDERALIST PAPERS. There are other historical documents as well.
It is amazingly deceitful to attribute the second amendment or its authors' motives to wide spread human aggresion which every culture possesses.

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
