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 The Second Amendment is outdated and is of no use in today's society.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.

Idiot. We don’t “use the Second Amendment as a law.” (snicker). Rather, the Second Amendment simply recognizes a “natural right” to keep and bear arms that is inherent in all free men. Governemnet doesn’t grant that right, and government can’t take it, nor can you.

They used to teach that concept in schools, but obviously, it escaped you. The day you or your adjunct come for my guns, one of us will be dead.

The reason that guns were invented is because some animals and some people need to be shot.
