Yes - because, clearly, the people, neither individually nor collectively, no longer need access to the most effective means to protect their rights with lethal force because they no longer have the need to protect their rights with said lethal force.The reality is that the 2nd Amendment itself is silly in modern times.
Well you can choose to delude yourselves if you want to.
But the reality is a gun isn't much protection from government. Oh you can shoot it out with police if you like. But everyone is outgunned eventually.
And I am not anti gun. I am simply looking for a better discussion. I own 6 guns. I hunt and I shoot trap.
I just don't think the constitutional argument holds much water. It makes for a good slogan, but it's like arguing the constitutional rights of a business to discriminate based on color. Even setting aside the morality, there are just too many precedents in place for the argument to hold water.
