Hopefully an unarmed populace will STFU about their rights.
Why should they?

Okay, Lord North. Are you going to watch the royal wedding?
So I was right, it isn't just your Jade threads. Yet you claimed it was only those threads and accused me of not paying attention to what you say. That isn't very nice of you.
Why did you troll this thread when that is the very reason you claim to thread ban people from your CE threads? You don't find that hypocritical?
And you completely avoided your war zone threads which have nothing to do with civility. You even make threads about posters and then thread ban them.
So again, it is clear as day your thread bans have zero to do with civility. And you engage in the same behavior you complain about. That isn't very nice of you.
Which are contradictory, at best. One of the earliest that mentioned the right to keep and bear arms was Dred Scott v. Sandford, which argued that blacks could not be citizens because then they would have the right "to keep and carry arms wherever they went". Of course, that same racist attitude is what led to the increasing infringement on the 2nd, after the Civil War, when blacks became citizens. All you are doing is ignoring what the Founding Fathers actually said, so you can put your preferred interpretation on things.
Mental illness is the big thing. We definitely need to keep assault weapons out of the mentally ills hands at bare minimum. Even with my experience with my intrusive thought OCD, I have enough to understand they can't handle guns.

It wasn't even absolute at the time it was written.
We have one of the lowest homicide rates in the Western Hemisphere. There's the example of Brazil, which has very strict gun laws, 2/3 our population, and annually anbout twice as many gun deaths as we do. https://www.pri.org/stories/2016-06-27/map-here-are-countries-worlds-highest-murder-ratesI don't know where you get that. We have far more murder, and when you talk gun deaths, it's ten fold. I'm actually pro gun, and I'm even pro life Catholic. I don't understand why these issues get so ridiculous. Main reason I could never come close to being a Republican. The right takes thing to ridiculous levels, and makes a noble cause seem more draconian.
But letting the crazies drive cars is perfectly ok with you lib loons.
How was it not?
What Madison actually said in his original version of the 2nd was that you could opt out as a conscientious objector.
The NRA has led the lemmings on a bastardized interpretation of the 2nd. It never was written so that every Tom, Dick and Harry would pack 24/7.

You keep being wrong, so just let it go, and drop it. It's not worth the drama. If you've noticed I'm trying experimental subjects without most bans. One isn't going very well though. Anyone I've gone after in discussion, was among those I ban all the time.

The best argument for an armed populace is that we had virtually no mass shootings (other than a few as a result of Prohibition) and lower levels of violent crime before we had much in the way of gun restrictions. Today, much of our violent crime is a direct result of the War on Drugs. Even so, https://mises.org/wire/fbi-us-homicide-rate-51-year-low/ The push for stricter gun control is based on paranoia and hysteria.They wanted an armed militia, in part because they feared a large, standing army. Guess what? We have the biggest, baddest standing army the world has ever seen. There goes that justification for an armed populace.
Oh Jesus, not again!
Bringing up a third world country as a comparative study demonstrates incredible desperation.
Demands? Talk about draconian. If that's what it means, it kills freedom more than any gun regulation that could be put in place, and it needs to be changed.
Why should they?

Whatever the fuck that means.
Opt out of actually serving in the militia.What Madison actually said in his original version of the 2nd was that you could opt out as a conscientious objector.
Actually, that's exactly how it was written and interpreted up until the Civil War,The NRA has led the lemmings on a bastardized interpretation of the 2nd. It never was written so that every Tom, Dick and Harry would pack 24/7.
