The 2nd Amendment and QUANTITY of Arms (gallon, death, Canada)

But how many arms? Two? Six? Twenty? 48? 600?

If Congress decided to strip Americans of all arms but two, how would 2nd Am advocates justify their "right" to bear an unlimited amount of arms?

I'll go with your 600. That will need a big safe!

Well it would have reduced the carnage Stephen Pollacks was able to perpetrate, if there had been a limit on gun ownership.

I and my five cars wholeheartedly disagree. Who are you to say that I should only be allowed to own two?

How so? Again, unless you're the Lone Ranger you can only shoot one at a time. And the Lone Ranger was a fictional TV character.

And freedom to express yourself should similarly be limited to the technology of the time. How's your penmanship?

Mass shootings are the price to pay apparently for the type of gun control we have in this country. It should be said there are different types of gun owners, some of us are open to ideas as this issue is only going to worse. I fear that a solution will be forced against gun owners when these mass shootings rack up to unknown point. And we all know these aren't going to stop with the status quo.

It's been shelved. Ryan is to blame.

you come up with a gun control law that will prevent shootings like this, and protect the rights of law abiding citizens, and is constitutional, and i will back you 110%.

On what do you base that assertion?
