I have had it with the IDIOCY!!!
How many people in this country have ACTUALLY read and UNDERSTAND the purpose of our 2nd Amendment???
Try reading the whole thing and understand why it was written. It is ONE sentence but Critically IMPORTANT to our liberty! It wasn't written so we can hunt!!!
It was written to preserve our right to form a MILITIA to fight back against a tyrannical government.
I know it's not a likely scenario, but it is essential element of our freedom and liberty and the founding fathers knew it was critical to keep government in check.
It may not be needed today, tomorrow, next week, next year or in the next 100 years.
But some day, it will be needed and we will thank GOD that it is there and we have preserved our rights to defend ourselves, form our own militia/military and preserve our freedoms.
Benjamin Franklin said "we now have a Republic, if we can KEEP it!"
Don't be so quick to give our rights away!! Once you forfeit your rights to the government, what are the odds you will EVER get them back?? Let me help you with that -->> ZERO!!!
There are numerous reasons why these shootings happened and we should address the core issues they happened (respect for life, over-medicating our youth, soft/gun-free targets, toxic, hateful media, and much more...).
Let's address these REAL reasons rather than blaming the instrument used to kill and the pathetic, expected, uninformed knee-jerk reaction to HAND over our rights to the government just so people can feel noble and woke at their work places and coffee shops...
And all I hear is BAN this, RESTRICT that by people who have NEVER read and are so uninformed of the reasons why we have the 2nd amendment.
Don't be one of those people!
Just my Thoughts.

You mean like the militias of the Southern States that tried to defy the tyrannical Federal government in 1860 to 1865?
The liberals make the militia argument all the time. I point out to them that the first part of the amendment acknowledges the need for and desirability of a citizen militia and the second part acknowledges the right to keep and bear arms. In no part does it restrict that right to the militia.
