The 2nd amendment: 'The right to bare arms' or should it read 'the right to mass murder.' Unfortunately, Americans are still living in the wild west days when maybe the 2nd amendment may have been justified, however, there is no place for it in todays society. President Biden might as well be talking to a brick wall, as America will never change its ways, this is due to the huge amounts of wealth to be made from firearms companies, not to mention, the money trail all the way to high profile investors and politicians in Washington. Removing firearms from Americans would be like extracting ones teeth. Will never happen, its a mindset embedded from the womb.

The simple conclusion is that if a strict reading of the 2nd amendment coneys an absolute right to unfettered gun ownership then that isn't how it's been applied in practice. There are many guns which are not permitted outside of the military, including machine guns and sawn off shotguns. Furthermore, contrary to such a strict reading, many people are prevented from owning guns. One can thus conclude that the 2nd Amendment does not confer and absolute right to own any guns.

Disagree.  2nd Amendment is needed more than ever today, for the original purpose of it.  To protect the people from their government.

 

The simple fact that some people want to take away your means of protecting yourself, proves that you need a means of protecting yourself.

How does the banning of the most egregious guns best suited to mass murder remove the means of protecting yourself? Would you be in favor of allowing machine guns in order to better protect yourself?

Bit of an overkill for protection, and that's why 'assault rifles' are basically banned, without special permit & fees.  Good luck trying to buy an 'assault rifle', they simply aren't sold, since no market for them.

You are asserting that they would be sold if there was a market for them. The fact is that they are banned from sale. Given that the most popular gun for mass shootings is the AR 15 and that it is very popular I would suggest there is a market for machine guns.

 

Do you support banning AR 15's?
