No it didn't? The purpose is to overthrow the government.
Only if the Gov. took the power from the people, now though its impossbile for a bunch of unorginized fat white guys who can not find their privats but for looking in a mirror if they move the belly, against the US military or FED agencys. Its a joke. You would lose every time and twice on sunday.
Our current legislation on gun control is not as loose as you want it to be, but still far less restrictive than, say Great Britain or Canada. And yet all of these gun-control nations have significantly lower crime rates.
Justify this statistical trend.
Establish the validity of your statistical implication. (ie, properly through appropriately established statistical data compare such, but do so under the means of accurately establishing the true likeness of such a comparison)
Statistics are as dangerous as guns in the hands of those who would use them for their own devious purpose.

If you say so, doesn't change the fact that the purpose of the second amendment was to overthrow the government.
It was written for another time. It's archaic. Of course it's time to revisit and amend it. "The right to bear arms" is kind of vague as it does not pinpoint the type of arms that one has a right to bear...muskets, pitchforks, cannons maybe. The Founders were not anticipating these automatic weapons that are so readily available to the wrong element. It's a no brainer.
really? automatic weapons are easy to get?
the last time i had automatic weapons, i had to submit for a class III license. ask 1st for permission of my county sheriff in writing, have 10 sets of fingerprints done, pay the tax for each firearm i wanted and wait 6 months.
how is that easy?
I wont wait for an answer, as I know you wont have one.

"Another source of power in government is a military force. But this, to be efficient, must be superior to any force that exists among the people, or which they can command; otherwise, this force would be annihilated on first exercise of acts of oppression. Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword, because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States."

A crazy man with no part in well regulated militia killed 20 innocent kids...
When are gun owners and NRA going to come out of the cover of 2nd amendment and start having sane conversation....
when are liberals going to understand that a gun is an inanimate object and as such needs a human agency to make it operate? the problem isnt the guns, its the PEOPLE that pull the trigger. as the investigation into this crime evolves, it will very likely come out that this guy PLANNED the operation, just like nearly EVERY OTHER criminal that has committed similar crimes.
I love how people skip over the "well regulated" part of the 2nd Amendment.
