I remember that Jefferson said people have a right to automatic weapons and large clips. He was very clear about that when he wrote the 2nd amendment. He also wanted bazookas in civilian hands. We are falling short.
We were are war with Britain a long time and we needed weapons to fight them, not George Washington. The 2nd amendment is quaint. outdated and time to rewrite it. Make it clear that we do not have to be an armed society and kill each other for sport.

Let me preface by saying I haven’t read this whole thread but I came across this gem and for those that know me, they know I have to respond.
This is the left’s continued classification of folks who don’t think exactly like they do as dumb, lemming-like people. This is how religious people are characterized when they vote for a candidate on the basis of abortion or sodomite issues...poor, dumb religious person voting against his own self interests.
Poor, dumb NRA member, doesn’t even know what the NRA is all about.
The dude says the NRA does what we say and he’s basically right. If the NRA suddenly started lobbying FOR gun control, see how fast it’s membership would decline...
Recently I read a report that said until the '70's the NRA served a membership composed significantly of hunters.domer76 #7
"3) Making the purchase of a gun one of the most difficult things to accomplish rather than one of the easiest."
Then there was a shift and the NRA began to serve gun manufacturers.
That article reported that still in 2018, that remains an uneasy stand-off within the NRA.
In any case there may be some Venn diagram overlap of interest between citizen gun owners & the NRA.
But the source I'm referring to suggested the shift went from citizen's rights to economic incentive.
Nice. But they're often dead."4) Punish the living shit out of the person with the gun"
Punish them for obeying the law?"the place where he obtained it and the manufacturer that promoted its sale."
"It should be obvious to anyone why conservatives and libertarians should be against Trump. He has no grounding in belief. No core philosophy. No morals. No loyalty. No curiosity. No empathy and no understanding. He demands personal loyalty and not loyalty to the nation. His only core belief is in his own superiority to everyone else. His only want is exercise more and more personal power." smb / purveyor of fact 18/03/18
And mental lightweights like you have no ability to deal with them, all you liberal fucking trash has are emotional appeals devoid of facts or reality.
Except the constitution does not include any such requirements, and such idiocies that you propose, like what some large cities have in terms or laws to make it hard for people to get handguns, fail miserably in both the courts and in reality.I’ll tell you what laws will stop guys like this. I want the check on a buyer to look under his skirt for anything and everything. I want to know if he ever jaywalked or stepped on an insect. I want to know what that motherfucker had for breakfast. I want the purchase of a firearm to be the most difficult, the most excruciating experience of his life.
Idiot, how are those tough gun laws in chicago working to solve their handgun crimes? Ever wonder why such laws are ignored by criminals, dimwit?
You're highly uninformed, Switzerland and other nations like lebanon have massive amounts of guns comparable to the US - but few gun crimes like the US.Fuck you and your precious Second that you have to be so emotionally tied to an inanimate object that has such little value in the rest of Western cultures. They do fine without your popguns, Rambutt. Why do you need one to survive?
Sounds like a cultural issue more than a gun problem, likely caused by the frustration over poor economic conditions in the US driven by the scumbag national democraptic party - but turds like you wouldn't want to admit such things about their beloved party.

Some of you gun grabbers please explain to everyone if law abiding people no longer had their guns
how would they protect their families from the bad guys that have guns.
Since having hard drugs are against the law. show me where there is any shortage of every drug known to man
So if law abiding people no longer had their guns are you saying that there would be no guns in the USA huh
Perhaps this debate has gone full-circle."Some of you gun grabbers please explain to everyone if law abiding people no longer had their guns

It's an obvious if not sensible question.
It seems to pivot around the bumpersticker slogan: If guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns.
- dandy -
We do know that when a jurisdiction like Washington DC imposes severe restrictions, guns tend to filter in through (for example) the Virginia's.
So a hodgepodge of restricted zones adjacent to substantially less restricted zones doesn't seem optimal.
BUT !!
There's strong indication as demonstrated by locations such as Canada and Australia that broader bans do seem to be effective.
iirc it was a school shooting in Australia that was so offensive to Australians that their restrictions were put in place.
And though I don't have the most up-to-date figures on it handy, the most recent data I recall indicated gun violence in Australia, and Canada as well is much lower than in the U.S.

I don't see anyone on here advocating for the complete removal of guns from society.
Australia may very well not have a Second Amendment but they have a system of legislation relating to firearms that is cohesive and truely works. The Second Amendment does not express an unlimited right to guns. Court precedents, rulings and interpretations have highlighted this, in a legal sense. The Second Amendment was originally for right of milita to bear arms. At what point this was misconstrued I have no idea, but was is clear is the gun culture in the US is the primary problem. I agree with you mental health management too is an issue.
