Why does the 2nd amendment exist?

[ColonelAngus]

The Second Amendment (1791) protects the right of individuals to keep and bear arms. Although the Supreme Court has ruled that this right applies to individuals, not merely to collective militias, it has also held that the government may regulate or place some limits on the manufacture, ownership and sale of firearms or other weapons. Requested by several states during the Constitutional ratification debates, the amendment reflected the lingering resentment over the widespread efforts of the British to confiscate the colonists' firearms at the outbreak of the Revolutionary War. Patrick Henry had rhetorically asked, shall we be stronger, "when we are totally disarmed, and when a British Guard shall be stationed in every house?"

They are emotional and hand wringers....fuck facts.

If they ever quit dicking around and actually hold a Constitutional Convention, the Second Amendment must be made absolute and out of reach of government. That no law abiding citizen can have their right to gun ownership removed without due process and conviction of a felony.

 

[airplanemechanic]

And because nowhere in the constitution does it say that conviction of a felony means you lose you right to bear arms, the day you are released from prison you are given your guns back, preferably cleaned and well oiled and ready for use.

Why does the 2nd amendment exist?

It was put in there just to dick off the Left.

 

[Rexx Taylor]

it seems as if the rats should be the only ones with guns and those on the right dont need guns cause burgerlers never want to invade/rob their homes

But the Founding Fathers never intended the second amendment to mean we could bear arms, just militias.

They just forgot to enforce this for about 200 years or so.

Liberals don't hate guns. They only hate it when those against socialist/communist/Marxist government have guns. Our forefathers intended for the people to always hold the power, something that is not possible with the left's vision.

The problem with a CC is the 2nd can also be eliminated. That ultimately is what would happen IMO.

Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that child pornography is NOT protected by the 1st Amendment either.

It's an odd thing. The Obama administration ran guns across the border into Mexico, gave them to rebel groups in Syria, and God only knows who else, but does not want American citizens to have access to them.

Very odd. It's almost as if Obama and company distrust the American people above all others.

Q: Why is there a second amendment?
A: In case government doesn't obey the first one.

At least you admit that the right to bear arms can be regulated and limited.

Well there is nothing you can't regulate or limit. It just depends on if you want a free society or not.

In prison, they have to take all their freedom away cuz they use it to hurt people. Perhaps you think American society has reached this level.

I guess after decades of children being raised in an amoral, drug ridden, abortion fed, atmosphere of public school, we may be getting to that point. I'm sure you, like many other Progs, can hardly wait.

Do you high five each other every time there is a public shooting thinking, this time they just have to take their guns away!
