The NRA and other gun lovers use the Second Amendment as proof of their right to bear arms. The Second Amendment is outdated and is of no use in today's society. In fact, the Second Amendment was written as a right to bear arms for colonists to protect themselves against other colonists, Indians and to form a militia in case the British invaded farms and other private lands. To use it today as a law is very silly. If that is all the NRA and their followers have to justify their use of guns, then they will soon lose the fight about gun control. It is a matter of time. Guns that are used to kill other people such as pistols, assault weapons and others must be banned. They have no business being in people's hands. Our right to be free from gun violence far outweighs any right to bear arms. We have had enough of guns.

In fact, the Second Amendment was written as a right to bear arms for colonists to protect themselves against other colonists, Indians and to form a militia in case the British invaded farms and other private lands. Why cite the special historical cases and use that to limit application of the principle? Aren't today's home invaders, and border crossers the invaders in relation to our citizens? And isn't government, with militarized police no-knock raids in situations where crimes are not serious, sometimes in the role of invader? Isn't self-defense the unifying principle here? George, open your eyes.

I am in favor of gun control.
Which is why very few police officers should be armed as they seem to have little control over their guns.
Most civilians on the other hand have fairly good gun control unless they are silly sissies.
I hope you took that personally.

the Second Amendment was written as a right to bear arms for colonists to protect themselves against other colonistsLet's assume this is the main reason (it isn't). Think very, very carefully about that statement...

Sad thing is, folks, there are lily-livered, goobermint-a$$-kissing, hoplophobic "useful idiots" like George here that live all around us. And with low-information voters like him, and millions more Juans and Marias from Mexico with McCain's amnesty, the right to keep and bear arms might indeed be outlawed in some states.
Don't mean we still don't get to vote. Rule .308 ensures that.

Tell you what, George - I urge you to live the courage of your convictions and be the first one on my property to enforce your agenda.

“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” ~ Thomas Jefferson

Let’s get rid of that pesky 1st Amendment too. Its way outdated and so uncool. The keyboard is far too dangerous in the hands of people like you. Its just a matter of time before someone gets offended and starts killing people with poison gas, a car bomb, small appliances, or knives.

Since I’m a reasonable guy, I’ll cut you some slack and assume the staff left the computer unlocked when you snuck out of your ward.
Be a good boy and ask for extra medication when you read this.
You’ll feel MUCH BETTER.
Those nasty ol guns won’t be able to get into the special wing where you’re at.
Be sure to let us know though who the staff were that screwed up and we’ll be sure it won’t happen again.
A civilization is judged on how it takes care of those that can’t take care of themselves and we have to watch over our special needs citizens.

George, it’s people like you who convinced me to learn how to use a pistol, shotgun, and rifle.
