The Second Amendment Was A Failure From The Start, And Should Have Been Repealed 200 Years Ago

The amendment grew out of a fear that having a standing army would leave the nation open to depredations by an authoritarian leader, or that the nascent democracy would be overthrown by a military junta. To that end, they explicitly inserted the Second Amendment as an alternative means of providing national defense.

True, but ALWAYS will remain true.
Government is always one of the biggest threats to our freedom.
Look at how the government has lied and murdered, like Manifest Destiny, the Spanish American war, WWI, Vietnam, the Korean war, Grenada, Panama, Nicaragua, Cuba, Iraq, Afghanistan, Prohibition, the War on Drugs, etc.

The problem is not the 2nd amendment, but the fact we illegally have government creep, like the BATF, DEA, Homeland Security, the TSA, FDA, and lots of illegal, expensive, abusive, etc. federal thugs.
 
What a foolish argument this is in defense with the 2nd A.

Wrong.
This is a very good defense for the 2nd Amendment because there are very few psychotics who want to shoot up schools. If schools were better, there might not be any at all.
But there ALWAYS have been lots of corrupt and evil governments.
The history is full of corrupt and evil governments.
There really are not any honest and benevolent government exceptions.
Even our current government tries to sound honest and benevolent, but the truth is they are corrupt, evil, and greedy too, with things like no public health care, the War on Drugs, mandated sentences, asset forfeiture, WMD lies about Iraq, etc.

What improved government from the really evil monarchies and theocracies of just a few hundred years ago, was constant armed rebellion.
Government did not improve on its own, but required armed force.
And government has to still get a whole lot better.
It is still evil, corrupt, and dangerous.
The only reason it is not worse is the threat from the population being armed.

Yep......350 million Americans...in 2021 there were 6 mass public shootings.....6 people out of over 350 million Americans. For that, they want to ban and confiscate all guns....while governments around the world are responsible for the murder of close to, if not over, 200 million innocent men, women and children.......

This is why they can't be reasoned with.....they are irrational people.
