The reason the founders created the second amendment to the constitution was for two reasons:


1. We just finished fighting a war against the British government.- I highly doubt that, should the need arise, US citizens would succeed in fighting a war against the US government.


2. To form a militia. Considering that the US Military is the strongest in the world, there's no need for a militia.

Does there needs to be some restrictions on guns? Yes I believe there does need to be some restricts on guns. Do all guns need to be banned though? No, banning guns will just take them out of the hands of law abiding citizens.

You're dumb.

When criminals have a gun, how am I suppose to defend myself?


Not everyone has a gun for self defense. Most use it mainly to murder
Umm, I don't think the majority of the 300 million people in america use their weapons for murder. Wouldn't be many of us left


When they use it, it's more for murder than self defense.
If you count hunting as murder, then yes


You're seriously suggesting that people fire their guns more for self defense than than to murder?

The reason we have guns is not for hunting or defense, it is if we ever need them to fight tyranny or oppression of the government.

If the USMIL ever decided to attack its own civilians, we'd stand no chance. It doesn't matter how many guns we have when they have drones, Blackhawk helicopters, tanks, etc.


Actually, it's more than possible to fight the US military. It would be a rocky start, but if a decent sized group of people with hunting rifles played it right, raided convoys, and seized military grade weapons from said raids, its more than plausible.

Furthermore, you also have to realize that there would be military units that would rebel from the government in order to help the US citizens.

Someone forgets about the Norway massacre, it also doesn't help that Mexico, a country that borders between a 3rd and 1st world country, is on our border...


also, guns werent used in the Bath School mass murder

Again, read the OP. I explicitly mentioned the Norway shooting. That's one. And it was a planned terrorist attack. Not just some random guy walking around killing people. We've had more shootings in the US in the past year than Norway has ever had.

The idea behind this is sound, but its no longer relevant to a modern America. You guys are armed to the teeth with weaponry and you use them on each other more than tyrants and oppressors.

The right to bear arms isn't tainted by just "8-10 people recently".

When people use their guns, they're usually shooting at animals or targets.

Even if you meant to say "when people use guns against other people," most stats I've seen show that guns prevent between 2 to 7 times more crimes than they cause.

Doesn't matter if you ban guns people can still get them from black marklets and -blam!-. Plus it won't help now everyone pretty much owns a gun. I blame socitey and music.

Give me a break. The school shootings today, the theater shootings and all the clerks being shot in Detroit and Flint don't prevent anything.

Yeah, I do. He might've found another method to kill people, but I doubt the body count would be as high.

There needs to be line drawn between freedom and security. Sacrificing the entire Second Amendment permanently is a poor way of addressing the issue, and doesn't really stop the problem in itself.

I believe that instead of banning guns why don't we just blame the people who commit these crimes. If we know it was them than publicly execute them with their own gun or something.
