Without guns, there would be no America.
You would disarm the Founders, and leave our people open to invasion, and worse.
One specific founder said an armed society is a polite society.
I believe the founders over you any day.
And guess what, everywhere that guns have been outright banned has seen an explosion in crime.
Because the criminals know they are safe.
How about this, you put your money where your mouth is, put up a HUGE sign in your yard proclaiming to ALL that you don’t have guns, and will not ever have one.
Let me know how that turns out for you.

Good luck

Let’s apply your diseased thinking to other guaranteed rights:

Stripped to its most basic reason to repeal YOUR first amendment rights:

1.) too many people being offended.

2.) too much hate speech.

3.) New and different forms of speech control are required to cut down on hate speech and hate crimes, and this cannot be imposed with the First Amendment still standing.

Of course, this is not an “explain”; how far into that do you want me to go?

Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty's teeth. George Washington

Do you even understand the purpose of the Second Amendment?
The main purpose is to enable "the People" to, in the vernacular of today, bitch slap the government upside its head if it got too overbearing!
It would be kind of hard to bitch slap somebody if you had no arms and hands, wouldn't it.

Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. George Washington
Unless, of course, you think government is a benign entity.

Let’s do away with your protection from unlawful search and siezure, after all criminality is now endemic to society and people harbor criminalas.
If you disagree you must be a criminal, right?

[Darksheare]

The Second Amendment is in place as a guarantee of the rest of the enumerated rights.

[Bikkuri]

I like your 80,000,000 number.. check out Post #84 ;)

sorry.. it's 84.. not 80 X(

And another thing...my right to keep and bear arms isn't a gift from government, it's mine by my simple existence.
Molon labe! (Molōn labe - "Come and take them." King Leonidas)
Why don't you just move to another country more to your liking?

And I bet you consider yourself an intellectual, don't you.

Besides, my ancestors tarred and feathered some Brits, then proceeded to fight to kick them out of America.
And I’d do the same for any wannabe dictator who comes into my sight, you included since you seem to want to follow the fascist totalitarian archtype on banning guns.

IBTZ, anti-Second Amendment TROLL!

[Darksheare]

The Constitution and the Bill of Rights are LIMITS on the power of government.
ANY candidate who does not understand that is not worthy to walk the halls of Congress.

thanks for the ping!

In these dark days, we need all the laughs we can get.

They’re not worthy of ANY leadership position....

Actually, that was Heinlein, not a FF.
