Rolling stone article refutes 2nd Amendment argument

"Here's a good time to remind everyone that the Second Amendment was written by slaveholders before we had electricity, much less the kind of weaponry that would-be murderers can buy today. But sure, if you think it's that precious, we can compromise: If you love the Second Amendment that much, feel free to live in a powdered wig and shit in a chamberpot while trying to survive off what you can kill with an 18th century musket. In exchange, let those of us living in this century pass some laws so we can feel safe going to class, or the movies, or anywhere without worrying that some maladjusted man will try to get his revenge by raining death on random strangers."

Likely lead to the elimination of our freedom. People are going to eventually get fed up with their kids being shot by some mentally deranged whacko and say fuck the 2A and the Constitution it rode in on. Their PERVERTED interpretation of the 2A will have unintended consequences like everything else in life. Even the Second Amenddment uses the word "regulated".
Fuck the NRA

But no automatic or semi-automatic weapons, and no pistols. Just one long-barrel muzzle loader per person.
