You're a fucking liar.Hmmm, no. That's why we need the 2nd Amendment. Gun regulation means they're coming for our guns. What else can it mean?When you're trying to push a political point the more death the better.
Wasn't it Rham Emanual who said "never let a tragedy go to waste?"
Your whine is amusing considering how you douchebags used the Douglas Highschool shooting to conjure up a huge rally to grab our guns.
I'm against gun control, and barely paid attention to the rally in the news. I had to look up who this David Hogg kid is everybody is talking about just a couple days ago.
If you hear Gun Regulation and all you hear is, "They are coming for all my guns" then you might be the reason they need Gun Regulation.
Are you aware that they had a pretty stringent gun control in the 1790s? In order to have a Firearm, you had to be a Citizen. Their idea of a Citizen was very narrow. Here were the requirements to be a citizen.
1. Male
2. White
3. Land Owner
4. In good standing with the Ruling Government
There were gun roundups. Mostly from British Sympathizers. Our "Founding Fathers" were extremely paranoid about another Ressurection happening where they get the short end of the stick. So much so that they even called a small group of people that refused to pay taxes on their booze a "Rebellion". They put together Militias from 3 states only to find that all of the "Rebellious" just moved to Kentucky from Pennsylvania. But they wrote the history books and made it look more serious than it really was. They left out the part where they confiscated guns as well. Probably the really sad part is, Blacks that were promised land and full citizenship were granted neither and had their weapons seized. That part was mostly left out of their history books as well.
The Second Amendment was written so that only the Citizen in good standing would be armed. It only applied to about 8% of the population in the 1790s and did keep the original US Government in power and tamped down the fears of the paranoids about the Federals taking over the states. If ever there was a reason to rewrite the 2nd amendment, these would be some mighty good reasons.
Free people were allowed to own guns.
