I read a small portion of your fantastical screed before I came to the conclusion you are in a world of bubble-gum songs, daffodil skies, and sunshine all the day.
Here in the REAL world, it’s not so simple, and it never has been. The 2nd Amendment, which you seem to think should be limited, Let’s see if you can understand a basic reason that the Founders (those EVIL WHIT E MEN) thoughtfully and deliberately added this amendment.
You’ll notice that it’s the 2nd Amendment for a reason: The 1st Amendment grants you the Right to Speak, to Worship (or not) as you wish, to disallow the Gov’t from aligning itself with any 1 religion (but to respect them nonetheless), to assemble peaceably, and to complain to or about the government without fear of punishment or reprisals.
The founders knew from experience that these are the most important needs for a free people to survive. However, they also know from bitter experience that you need to back up these rights by being on an equal footing with that same government. And If the Government is armed, it’s people must be armed as well. THAT is the basis of the 2nd amendment. NOt to only protect oneself and property from criminals, but more importantly, from the Government.
And even if we are so well armed with AK-47’s and M1 Garands, AR-15’s, rifles, hand-guns, derringers, in truth we are still outgunned by .50 cal machine guns and Tanks and Helicopter Gunships.
Now personally, while I don’t see a need for me to own such larger weapons with greater firepower, others do, and I shall not prevent them from arming themselves accordingly.
Pity this is all going over your empty head. But maybe if you’d still consider 1 thing, you’ll understand our position: When a people cannot fight back against government, they become slaves, their every action scrutinized, their every word examined, and their very freedoms and fortunes are forfeit, including yours.
No it doesn't.
If if did, it would read "The People have the right to ...".
That's not what it says.
It starts off "Congress shall make no law...".
It doesn't grant rights, it protects rights.
