Because some kids got killed in Florida while at school, due to the FBI failing to do its job in responding to several warnings about the kookburger that did the shooting, and the local cops pussying out and not going in to deal with the shooter like the brave officer in Maryland did a few days ago, and because some kook didnt mind breaking dozens of laws against taking guns to schools, illegal discharge of fire arms and MURDER,, EVERYBODY ELSE has to forfeit more of our rights and which h ad absolutely NOTHING to do with what went wrong in Floriduh?
This is just further proof of how ignorant and stupid the media establishment is today and how gullible high school students can be.
IT is not justification to torch the Second Amendment.
Period.
You and those like you just don't get it. Why don't you try reading the 2nd Amendment for a change, and if you don't understand it, get an educated adult to explain it to you, especially the part that says, WELL REGULATED.
Well regulated" did not mean during that time, what you think it does.
"The phrase “well-regulated” was in common use long before 1789, and remained so for a century thereafter. It referred to the property of something being in
proper working order. Something that was well-regulated was calibrated correctly, functioning as expected. Establishing government oversight of the people’s arms was not only not the intent in using the phrase in the 2nd amendment, it was precisely to render the government powerless to do so that the founders wrote it.
The following are taken from the Oxford English Dictionary, and bracket in time the writing of the 2nd amendment:
1709: “If a liberal Education has formed in us well-regulated Appetites and worthy Inclinations.”
1714: “The practice of all well-regulated courts of justice in the world.”
1812: “The equation of time … is the adjustment of the difference of time as shown by a well-regulated clock and a true sun dial.”
1848: “A remissness for which I am sure every well-regulated person will blame the Mayor.”
1862: “It appeared to her well-regulated mind, like a clandestine proceeding.”
1894: “The newspaper, a never wanting adjunct to every well-regulated American embryo city.”
"Well-Regulated" - Bearing Arms - Second Amendment, Well-Regulated
"Well regulated" means nothing to do with the government regulating firearms or the people's right to own them.
