"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."
So lets analyze this 1.You need an organized military to keep the STATE stable, hence the word militia.
2. The Right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Everytime I hear a Pro - Gun Control argument, they always mention that it was intended only for state militaries. This is false, because the wording of the amendment very clearly alludes to the fact that people need guns as well, hence the comma after "free state."
Also, to those who say that the founding fathers would want the ban of assault rifles, those guys literally wanted people to have the right to a battleship. If they came back today, they would probably hate how restricted guns have become.
They also created this after fighting a state militia, AKA the British, so it makes sense for them to not want any restrictions on weapons.

the debate is over. 2A has a zero percent chance of being repealed and all gun laws are infringements. At some point we do jury nullification and local non-enforcement of federal laws (like how weed became basically legal everywhere). It's over.
Dylan Hill
If you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to fear and you don't need a gun. If you own a gun and want to keep it then you might be the next mass shooter or murderer, you don't need guns
A gender reassignment surgery, being necessary for a man to become a "woman", the right of the tranny to transition, shall not be infringed.
Now read that and tell me it's the right of the sex change to transition, you tranny faggot.
Austin Green
You DON'T need your guns, you haven't used them. You have something to hide then, you probably won't to shoot some innocent black civilians, you see, right-wingers need to be thrown into prison before it's too late and black people get hurt
Jace Brooks
>won't want* You become a real woman by a surgery
Noah Fisher
the argument i feel is dead in usa liberal have bought gun in drove these few year and the summer of love proved to most that police wont work is just pointless virtue signaling to the few woke
Charles Bennett
Read anything else written by these guys and it is pretty clear what they meant. Judges who disagree are disingenuous. But none of that matters. What matters is your own will and your ability to recruit people to your side

Kill yourself faggot.

>You need an organized military to keep the STATE stable, hence the word militia. ACTUALLY... militia means citizen according to the explanation of the Founding Fathers.
Ryder Perez
First of all, a mass shooting has more to do with the shooter's state of mind than the actual gun. If he wants people dead, he will find a way, even without a gun. We over here at the US literally had over 3,000 people die from 4 planes on 9/11. Also, bit ignorant you assume every person who wants a gun wants to become a mass shooter.

I more side on the fact that 'Right to Bear Arms' makes no specification on what arms one is allowed. We already make clear distinctions that some arms are not allowable for public purchase. To draw an easy distinction one can consider many form of explosive arms, but you can't purchase hand grenades. For firearms I am unable to purchase larger mounted machine guns & the like.
Because most can agree that this distinction is alright it opens the debate for what arms should be allowed. Your right to have arms shouldn't be infringed, but what arms and how long it takes to obtain them are not protected by the amendment.
Now, personally I think people should be able to own anything that isn't an explosive & can be transported & operated by a single individual. However I also believe that a waiting period and universal background check is fine. Liability for selling to someone who comes up on a background check as having a violent criminal or unstable mental history, thus putting the onus on the seller to deny or face possible consequences.

they dont happen in canada switerland or taiwan the fault goes only on the media tha immortilize these guy
Cooper Allen
It is a group of citizens who work for the state. If militia = citizen was what they meant, they wouldn't have added that second part of the amendment.
Elijah Watson
>However I also believe that a waiting period and universal background check is fine. So when did you transition? Have you had bottom surgery yet?
Easton Flores
A background check is fine, but it would be almost useless. Anyone of any mental capacity can just snap and cause great harm.
Aaron Powell
Of course not everyone who wants a gun will be a mass shooter. No attempt to rid America of its guns will ever work, there are more firearms than people in the USA.
The closing of the Asylums by Reagan and the War on Drugs are the biggest factors towards modern firearm related crime. Our country lacks easy access to quality mental health care, and rather just dumps pills on people. We also lack a legal apparatus to compel people to get care. The War on Drugs is even worse, as it has allowed for the main revenue streams for violent organized crime. The War on Drugs is over, Drugs won and we need to admit that.
Thing is though this is made worse by the fact that criminals are a product in the USA, and our legal systems is structured on the pretense that it needs to create repeat customers. The american legal system is designed to turn anyone who touches it into a lifelong criminal so as to keep for profit prisons profitable.
Institutions with a profit motivation to incarcerate as many people as possible is one of the most astoundingly amoral things imaginable.
Gun Control is a band aid over a gaping wound. It can be used as part of a system of change, but there needs to be far more than just increased gun control to fix anything.
Camden Jackson
Most of those who commit mass shootings have long histories of mental illness rather than sudden snaps. A random person can snap, but those are in the minority.
Most gun crime is committed by people in organized crime, then people with long histories of mental illness, sudden snaps are a minority.
I probably own more guns than you. As I said, you should be able to purchase what ever you want, but the owner should be able to deny you purchase based on a background check. That's the point of informed liability.
Kevin Gomez
well regulated
Kevin Carter
This directs back to one my reply's, being that it has to do more with a shooters state of mind than the gun itself. We should be doing more to help mental health, rather than just banning the gun the shooter just so happened to use.
Thomas Wilson
>It is a group of citizens who work for the state. If militia = citizen was what they meant, The militia is clearly defined in the US Code. Look at the 1792 and 1903 Militia Acts.
>they wouldn't have added that second part of the amendment. The second part is the part that designates the right, the first part explains why the right is important.
William Brooks
denying people gun sales based on background checks would be a lot more justifiable if it was limited to violent felons, but it isn't. Just invent some bullshit felony conviction for anything and lose your gun rights forever? No, that's stupid.
Adrian Brooks
>probably own more guns than you Which one are you gonna use to 41% yourself with?
Brayden Garcia
I think it is a combination of things. If I were to put a list of things it would be: >legalize drugs to deprive criminal organizations of their revenue stream >remove for profit prisons & begin repealing laws created to increase incarceration rates >create a national apparatus for health care so that mental health care is no longer have a profit motivation, as it's clearly making matters worse >add some laws designed reduce impulse purchases for firearms in relation to crime, but don't restrict purchases
