The 2nd Amendment

[Fool]

why is there no uproar over the right to bear chemical, biological, or nuclear arms individually?

I guess it just needs updating?

Walk down Main Street carrying a vial of Ebola and a sign and find out.

There should be.

The unfortunate reality is that America is quite a violent country with a violent past, and having the proliferation of guns in circulation that we have gives us a high homicide rate compared to other industrialized countries, and that rate has substantially gone up over the last year throughout the country, and it's not just in the big cities.

Thus, to believe that more guns will lead to less homicides is a lot like saying that having more cars will lower traffic accidents. However, just the proliferation of more guns is not the only cause of these increases as there's a world of hurt in our society right now, especially with a president hell-bent on "divide & conquer" fueling the flames.

yes, but I'm trying to understand the passionate 2nd amenders for antiquated systems vs their supposed right to bear what ever

If one considers the original intent of the writers of the Constitution,
they appeared to address possession of militarily capable small arms.
The people owned those, but not cannons or warships.
So it strikes me as a reasonable division in legally owned weapons,
ie, small arms, but not WMDs.
Note also that we had arguably superior weapons to the backward Brits.
(Rifled barrels had better accuracy, but at the price of slower reloading.)

in the day.....the British held power
and to relieve America of that situation
firearms would be needful

so.....NO law could be passed by American gov to infringe upon that one thing
the right to keep and bear arms

leaving that law in place.....without fringes
is important

good point. rules are made to be broken; especially for unforeseen circumstances and common sense/reason.

i want the wireless version of a phaser and nothing more than the stun option. i would prefer a light saber. unfortunately i would probably cut myself with it. i don't have the skills of a swordsman.

I prefer to see it as....
The Constitution can be amended.

The same reason death threats are illegal, even though we have free speech.
