What is your opinion on the Second Amendment?

Do you believe citizens should not own fire arms?

Do you think the government shouldn’t decide how a citizen defends him or herself

Etc.

Discuss, be civil.

Right now, the law of the land is outlined in the 2nd Amendment. A such, I respect it. But there's no verbiage on regulation; there's no reason why firearms and their ownership & use couldn't be regulated just as any product is.

Regulation is not restriction. It's sane and safe implementation.

@Graylight It is a very well regulated industry, very very lawfully owned firearms are used in crimes

@pagandad Your very belief that towing one single platform line indicates you know little about democracy. The notion that you see so clearly and rigidly what has taken the highest court years to grapple with indicates ignorance of history at a level I can only assume involves confirmation bias.

This post asked for an opinion. If you disagree with others you're free to debate, but argument only shines a light on ignorance.

@pagandad Do you also believe the Bible is the literal word of God also? The US Constitution was written with ambiguity very consciously built in and the scope of human evolution considered. It's a fluid, living document open to interpretation and reinterpretation and it was meant to be this way. Those who refuse to consider evidence not in keeping with their own beliefs are, in fact, willfully ignorant.

By the way, these same framers of the Constitution War layered wool in summer time, considered arms to be everything from a musket to a pitchfork and dealt with guns that fired one bullet about every 30 seconds. Not really grounds for infallibility.
