Whythink (04-18-2021)
I'm a big supporter of the second amendment but if that amendment is defined by this hate group they call a party or the NRA, we would be a lot better off not having the second Amendment. There is no way in hell that the NRA and Gun Bubbas perception and opinion of the second was even close to why our forefathers put in the 2nd in the constitution. In fact if they knew how it would be misinterpreted by these brain dead, they would apose the 2nd themselves.

The NRA is not a hate group. NRA is not 'gun bubbas'. Bigotry. The NRA does not define or redefine the 2nd amendment.
This amendment discusses two inherent rights, both related, not one.A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
1) The right of a State to defend itself...as a State. It does this by raising militias (or armies) made up of the people of that State.
2) The right of the individual to defend himself and his interests. This is the right of the people.
The 2nd amendment does not specify type of weapon, type of action, magazine, size, length of barrel, type or color of stock, size of ammunition, method of construction, length of blade, etc. It means ANY weapon.

Why? There are many nations that have very strict gun control yet experience massive crime, social unrest, and even gun violence. Look at Mexico. Mexico gun laws are very restrictive and it is very difficult for a citizen to legally own a firearm, particularly a pistol. Yet, Mexico is overrun with gun violence and criminal activity. So, how would the US benefit from not having a 2nd Amendment?

And, where'd they get those since they didn't buy them in Mexico. The point to that is, regardless of Mexico's strong gun laws criminals have acquired lots of firearms they need to carry out their crimes with.
Thus, the abolition of the Second Amendment would do little or nothing for the US in terms of crime. Criminals would still be armed while the law abiding citizenry would be disarmed. How does that make anything better?

Okay, but note the difference. You never gave a scintilla of evidence to support your position, while I did. So, while you can hold the position on the Second you do, your lack of persuasive support for it doesn't bode well for your convincing anyone else to accept it.
