It's not bizarre at all. The framers expected citizens to take up arms and to be able to form militias of their own initiative.
The founders also shit in chamber pots, bleed themselves to treat diseases and owned slaves.
Maybe we need to stop basing our decisions on what seemed like a good idea 230 years ago and work on what might be a good idea now. I will even go so far as to say 230 years ago, being able to form a militia was a good idea. Today we have professional armies and police forces, so not so much.
The bill of rights protects the people from the government not the government from the people
How about protecting the people from the people? I don't worry about the government shooting up a school or a nightclub. I worry about a crazy person who was able to buy a gun despite everyone in his life knowing he was crazy being able to do it.
And suicide is a choice. I know you hate the idea of people choosing their own fates because you have a pathological need to control others. I guess it makes you feel like more of a man
No, you see, it's common sense. We don't let people drive at 100 MPH or do drugs or talk on the cell phone a lot of other things because it presents a danger to themselves or others.
It's the price I pay for having to live in a well-structured society. Now, if you want to live in Anarchy, I hear Somalia has a pretty liberal immigration policy.
