When we created the 2nd, I have a feeling that crack heads were not mugging people 100x a day and killing 10x a day. Sorry the world isn't perfect.

When the 2A was created, the same types of scumball people who exist now existed then. All the more reason to arm yourself for protection. The world isn't perfect, but NYC belongs on Neptune if they can't support the same bill of rights as the rest of the country.

so you want to compare a ball and musket to a fully automated 10mm armor piercing 16 magazine clip......

in a day in age where muggers were hanged compared to suspended sentences and accelerated rehabilitation.

please be somewhat reasonable....also check the rule on states rights before you compare ny to the rest of the country.
