If the gentlemen who wrote the second amendment realised that much later, America would have a standing, well equipped army with no possibility of invasion of US soil by a foreign power, they may have realised that the second amendment was appropriate for their time, but was definitely a time limited thing?

Add the fact that a country filled with people armed for war (*) would inevitably turn the guns on each other, they would jump at the chance to delete the second amendment altogether or at least add a rider to it about it being appropriate to the current circumstances, and became null and void when things changed.

BoobBert, grow a brain! BoobBert followers, you too, grow a brain!

(*) 120 guns per 100 people? Yep, the US is geared up for war!

Everybody in the gun industry makes money from the second amendment.

Few dead civilians? Collateral damage, quite acceptable, nothing to see here!

Democrats should say that at every opportunity. Because it's true based on her own words on the floor of the House.

But the best defence against a nutter with a gun is NOT to arm yourself, you just end up with two nutters with guns.

Bullet proof underwear would be better as a defence, surely?
