Not happening, we have you anti gun loons by the short hairs with the 2nd as it is

We dont care if your fed up.
We're armed.
Guns are not the problem. The problem is too much centralized gov resulting in a dysfunctional culture.The current text: "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."
The right generally interpret the militia to be the unorganized militia, that is the entire body of all militarily capable men. The left generally interprets it to be the organized militias of the old colonies, or at least the current National Guard. Instead let us consider it the collective term for the various state defense forces. They're much like the Guard except in that they do not fall under federal authority in any way. To own a firearm legally, one would to buy and register it. To register as a gun owner, one would need to enlist in their state's defense force. What this would mean in practice is that those people carrying a concealed firearm around you in public would be required to attend regular safety and marksmanship instruction from professionals. The pasty white guy packing the Glock in his jacket pocket would pose less of a danger to you and other bystanders when he decided to play big badass hero.
What do you say? Yea? Nay? Yea with modifications?
If the whole point of the amendment is arming the militia, then shouldn't we be barring those incapable of entering the militia to have one? Think about the kind of person who couldn't even join a volunteer irregular military-lite.NOpe.
Any attempt to raise the cost of gun ownership is a restriction on a important Right.
I'm not anti-gun. I'm taking the Second Amendment at its word as to its meaning. It says that we can own guns because the militia needs to have guns. What I want is to make gun owners the militia and give them the regulation and training they need to pose more of a danger to foreign and domestic enemies than to themselves and innocent bystanders.Not happening, we have you anti gun loons by the short hairs with the 2nd as it is
You think the government causes people to create a dysfunctional culture? Surely it's the reverse?So your solution is illogical.
No. Any requirement to join a government organization or register the arms owned is a non-starter so far as I'm concerned.
One of tge main points for owning firearms is to protect yourself from the Government; so why would I want to join a Government agency to get the Right to own arms?
The important part?If you want to modify it, remove "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state,"
Jared Loughner didn't need a gun. James Holmes didn't need a gun. Adam Lanza didn't need a gun. I hope the reasons I'm totally fine with depriving people like them of having one before they go on a shooting spree would be obvious. Similarly, I don't really consider grampa with the wheelchair and the oxygen tank to be fit for service either.I'm not willing to throw all those old people and handicapped people and women under the bus.
Why are you?
Part of the reason for the 2nde Amendment is to fight off a tyrannical government. If you're part of the government you're less likely to want to fight them off. So no.
Fair points.You know the fact that they mention ONE reason to have the Right to Bear Arms, does not mean that it is the ONLY reason.
I am sure that the vast majority of the Founders supported allowing citizens guns for hunting, and protection from dangerous animals, even though it was not specifically mentioned in the Constitution.

Actually, anyone who tells me he needs guns to protect himself from government is crazy.
You've got a gun.
They've got tanks, and bombers, and drones, and missiles.
32,000 gun deaths and 78,000 gun injuries every year doesn't justify humoring your fantasies.

No... "... shall not be infringed."The current text: "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."

Gov is the problem. Research what it did to the black community since the Great Society.You think the government causes people to create a dysfunctional culture? Surely it's the reverse?So your solution is illogical.
The old fool Joe ignores the fact it's usually a left loon shooting up schools. Perhaps leftists should be banned from owing firearms
Better to die on my feet than live on my knees.
How many of those deaths involve legal guns in the hands of legal gun owners (not including self defense) instead of criminal actions...... very few.
Grandpa in the wheelchair and on oxygen is a fine target for a cowardly robber.
Grandpa in the wheelchair and on oxygen with a gun in the drawer next to him has a chance to defend himself.
I want grandpa to win, and the robber to lose.
Thank you for admitting that a Primary Reason does not preclude other reasons.
Actually, most of them. 2/3rds of htem are suicides. about 1000 of them are accidents, and the rest are homicides, often committed by people they know.

Nope, it's to give THE PEOPLE the right to keep and bear arms

Not what it says
