The US 2nd Amendment.....

[HughC]

Noel has a point. In 17 something the "right to bear arms" had a different meaning to what's available now. Not too many ( or any ? ) mass murders with a muzzle loading long gun !! Allowing "fruit cakes" access to SLRs and armour piercing ammo without any checks is stupid. Has gun control worked in Australia? Of course not...there's a massive pool of weapons out "there"...mainly in criminal hands. Still at least some control does reduce the one off mental breakdown issues. What should come first, personal rights or community rights ?

This is the ridiculous argument the left uses all the time. Well the founding fathers did not envision TV, the internet or radio but we don't say obtuse things like we need to limit these. The second amendment was not designed for deer hunting, it was designed to keep the power with the people. To give them a recourse against a standing army and tyrannical gov. Those who are against the second amendment know nothing of our history or the history of man in general. The lies the left tells that they do not want our guns is so thinly veiled that any real gun owner or one who actually looks at what is going on knows its a lie. When Dian Feinstein said after passing the 94 gun ban or crime bill as it was labeled, said that some are upset it did not go far enough but if I could have passed a bill that said Mr and Mrs America turn them all in I would have done that but there was not enough votes. We know the end game. Ammo up Ammo up people before you wish you had. Blaming guns for things like Orlando is like blaming the bat for Babe Ruth for hitting home runs. Islam is the problem for a lot of this. Muslims are peaceful. Trump is correct stop them from immigrating until we know what is going on.
