We should eliminate the 2nd Amendment because guns frighten me and only our protectors, the police and the Army, should be armed. Guns are only used by evil people to hurt me and my friends. Without evil firearms available to anyone but the authorized government agents we would all be safer. In a proper society even the police would not need guns and never have to carry any. Guns scare me.
Are you serious or being sarcastic ?
Sorry,I read further and know you were being sarcastic. LOL
The sad and crazy thing is there are many out there that really think like this.
That would mean limiting our military to muskets as well. There may end up being a problem when they have to face an enemy carrying modern firearms....
They did want these ex-military persons armed to be ready for military purpose. So I also propose that they be sent to the front lines the next time a war is declared (or not).
I think we should stick with what the Founding Fathers intended!
Every land-owning white guy can have as many muskets as he wants.
Oh great, another revisionist who believes the 2nd was written 200 years ago so we should be limited to 1791 arms.
enabling the people to organize a militia system
participating in law enforcement deterring tyrannical government
repelling invasion
suppressing insurrection
facilitating a natural right of self-defense
Tyranny by the DOJ and IRS qualifies.
A well regulated militia, being the best security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
Nothing is said about limiting weapons based on advancing technology. I'm fairly certain the forefathers expected weapons to advance, deciding such common sense logic wouldn't need clarification. Apparently, for some every word is fodder for redefining.

To all you anti gun nuts, why should we do away with the 2nd amendment?
Why would anyone want to get rid of the 2nd Amendment? I think we need to make sure that dangerous people aren't getting guns, and I think we need to stress gun education to anyone looking to get a gun.
We really need to petition the moderators for a sarcasm font, don't we?
Sorry, eRayP, but you were caught by GregW's tendency toward using ridiculousness to make a point. Don't worry, it's happened to all of us at one time or another.
Ain't it the truth!
GregW, That was perfect! My hats off to you, because I was ready for a scathing reply until I saw who wrote it!
