There will be no catastrophe so ghastly that America will reform it's gun laws — Page 5

The Framers of the Constitution knew the Fledgeling Country, had no standing army after the Continental Army was disbanded and required it's citizenry to be able to grab their rifles be called into service in case of attack.

Once the US assembled the US Army 3 June 1784, the second admendment could have been admended. I guess no one saw the need. Then again no one knew we would have assault weapons and high volume clips.

Have you ever fired it?

Ah, I see. So your earlier militia reasoning was largely irrelevant to your own situation.

I find it amazing that every gun enthusiast I know immediately jumps to regulation of guns, background checks, a waiting period, is taking away everyone's gun or abolishing the second admendment. My half brother is one of them.

And tell us how it's in line with what the framers of the Constitution envisioned.

Boy, I bet their d*cks are HUGE!

What about the stale responses that background checks and waiting periods are the Left's wanting to destroy the second admendment and make guns illegal?

I don't want to be involved in these stale arguments of "Assault rifles weren't in the Constitution" and "Do you really need a gun that big?"

Because you don't have any fresh answers that don't make you sound like a thoughtless nut?

As others have said. The US has the *fourth* highest gun violence *per capita* in the world. For anyone to draw the conclusion that gun laws play no part in that seems to merely state that they think they live with an insanely violent group of people in a violent country and that nothing can be done about it. http://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/stats/Crime/Murders-with-firearms

My dad while I grew up worked off and on for the Irish government and I would spend Summers with him. Seeing guards at department stores and theatres carrying assault rifles never made me feel safer--it scared the crap out of me. And I know it never made my dad feel safer, or any of his friends (nor did it stop any bombs that happened.) I can't imagine going to a department store and seeing someone just "doing their shopping" carrying a gun would make any sane person feel safer (and I admit, I just don't get gun culture--I don't understand how anyone with a rifle would feel safer carrying one on them. Call me paranoid, but I would be scared crapless that I would accidentally fire it and injure or kill myself, or, worse, injure or kill someone else. And I honestly think anyone who lives in a country they *want to live in* and feels they need to arm themselves is paranoid, and not living a happy life.)

Hey parents! Don't worry about gun violence because now you can send your kids to school with a bullet proof blanket. Made out of the same material the military uses. So now when someone with an automatic weapon bursts into your kids school they can cower safely under a bullet proof blanket!
Life in America in 2014. Thanks 2nd amendment!
