So much living in fear, yet so much defending and enabling criminals who will always have access to guns, and let’s not forget how easily they’re made. Banning 3D printers will be next. I’m surprised folks with this mindset actually leave their living quarters. Thankfully there’s so many WFH opportunities that so many folks won’t have to, including those that no longer have to work.

If you were designing a constitution today you would of course want free speech, equality and others. No one in their right mind would ask for a second amendment. This is 2023 not 1871.
HA! Maybe the people on the left wouldn't.

The people on the right would understand that having the government as the only entity with guns is LUNACY.

Also, having 100 million red blooded men that know how to use firearms is a pretty nice deterrent from an invasion, even today.

What free person would actually demand that their rulers disarm them? That's just insane. Stop acting like a peasant or a subject.

You're a free person because of guns and because of the quality of our founding documents. If James Madison were alive today he'd probably slap you across the face and take away your man card.

Good grief.

Criminals and dictators prefer folks be unarmed.

Many of these folks are in the defund the police crowd, while watching these folks fend for themselves would make for great tv.

The RIGHT to shoot and kill is paramount and ridiculous. That's how you get the WRONG DOORBELL. That's how you get the WRONG DRIVEWAY. That's how you get the WRONG CAR. That's how your kid's ball rolled into the WRONG YARD.

Americans can't handle firearms safely.
Americans have ALWAYS HAD GUNS.

On the other hand, we have only HAD LIBERALS for the last 60 years. Liberals have been far more destructive to the nation than guns.

Exactly. The left call republicans "fascists," but the NUMBER ONE HALLMARK of a fascist is wishing to disarm their populace.

NUMERO UNO.

It literally defines the relationship between the state and the citizens and is the difference between having politicians or rulers.

It is breathtaking to be that someone would sign away their ability to have personal autonomy in the defense of themselves and their families first, and of their nation second. Just crazy.

If you were building up a newly formed nation you wouldn't include a second amendment, we live in the past.
Of course I would.

We are not getting rid of the guns. We need to get rid of the reasons people use them for harm. 100 million gun owners. 20,000 gun deaths. Seems like the problem is not that people own guns.

All that you need, to do major harm is the remaining .5% armed with AR style rifle's chambered in .223. Powerful, accurate, holds lots of rounds and has very little recoil to stay on target. The NRA wants them to be easily obtainable, their money buys that. And at what cost. Just after a recent shooting, a day or so later they had a convention. Who was the guest speaker, Trump. Just the fact that he was there speaks volumes, and you know what group he is speaking to.

In the past I've owned 3 of them. Along with several AK's and an HK-91. The public should NOT have access to these. The 2nd Amendment should have limits.
The 2nd does have limits.

The AR is an incredibly popular platform with millions sold per year. IOW many millions of people believe the public should have access to them.

Why should the public not have access to them? They are an excellent rifle for small game.

It's just a semi auto rifle. It's perfect for us individuals that want something more than a .22 but don't need anything as powerful as a true hunting rifle.
