I'm not even gonna comment about how asinine your Second Amendment = "nuke's are ok" argument is. Its funny how a lot of the anti-gun people will claim that they're all about the constitution , but would have absolutely no problem ripping its guts out by eliminating the Second Amendment.
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Every law abiding American has the right to arm themselves if they so choose.
Lets just say for shits and giggles that we do overturn the Second Amendment. Who gets to go house to house and collect all the firearms? How do they know for sure that they got them all? A lot of people could be hiding some? Do they search everyone's house? Go through all their personal items and just completely ransack every Americans home? Let that image sink in. Kinda gives me a sick feeling inside thinking about it. Oh and I'm sure everyone will kindly hand over their weaponry, including criminals. There definitely won't be shootouts and absolute anarchy started by people who believe in the "You can have my gun when you pry it from my cold dead hands" logic. What you end up with is law abiding people left without a means to defend themselves, the vast majority of criminals remaining armed, and a lot of dead people both citizens and police from the actual disarming process.
You cannot stop all gun violence, there is absolutely nothing we can do. No law can be passed, no ruling, nothing. There will always be unsavory types who will have their hands on firearms, I want to live in a country where its legal for me to be able to fire back if I have to.
