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.

I'm generally pro-gun ownership, but the 2nd amendment was poorly designed, and left us with a retarded mess that we enjoy currently. It's fucking stupid, tbh.

I personally favor the Czech model of doing things - constitutional protections, without the insanity.


Oh, and anyone who's going to whine some rightoid nonsense at me better be prepared to explain why they're just fine and dandy with abridging the right to keep and bear [i]nuclear[/i] arms.
@QuixoticSoul Noooooo - the second Amend. was crafted just right - its the interpretation that got distorted. Just like the Bible - good words but in the hands of someone that wants to read between the lines - deadly..

@MarmeeMarch Explain why you're just fine and dandy with abridging the right to keep and bear [i]nuclear[/i] arms.

No, the 2nd is terribly designed, which is why we have this ridiculous mess that we're living with now.
@QuixoticSoul Because - we are not talking about an individual citizen's rights - nuclear weapons or any weapon of huge scale destruction is something that any country has the right to keep.

How they are used it is another topic. How they think that more of these weapons can be used to coerce government actions, are again another topic.

@MarmeeMarch Now you're just interpreting the 2nd amendment willy-nilly to suit your wacky liberal ideas. What about "shall not be infringed" is so hard to understand??????? Does that say "you can only own irrelevant pea-shooters like a pussy" in there? No, it does not.

The government would not dare step out of line and take away our rights if the citizens had a proper personal arsenal like the founders intended - including medium range missiles to deliver a few kilotons of FREEDOM to the nearest state capital as needed.
@QuixoticSoul Its all relevant - I would not challenge you to a race if I am riding an old rusty bike and you with a brand new Lamborghini Aventador.

@MarmeeMarch Exactly.
@QuixoticSoul 💁‍♂️So ... what's your issue ?

I’m glad to see you’re not even acknowledging the ridiculous claim that there may be some mysterious militia restriction. You are correct in that in the second the founders act as if they didn’t foresee the possibly for more powerful weapons in the future when in other areas of the Constitution and Amendments the future was considered. @QuixoticSoul

@MarmeeMarch I want a few nukes for home defense. Got a problem?
@QuixoticSoul 💆‍♂️
@QuixoticSoul I think someone is wearing his "slippery slope" pants today.

@MarmeeMarch I'm wearing my strict constructionist shoes. SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED - how hard is this?
@QuixoticSoul did you tear off the "well regulated militia" tag off ?
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@MarmeeMarch I'll be far more useful to my local militia with a few SS-18 Satans in my backyard.
@QuixoticSoul [image deleted]Give me this with a 100 round magazine and Ill be happy.

@MarmeeMarch That’s useful if you’re dealing with some pesky Jehova’s witnesses - but if you have a hippie infestation 9mm is just not going to cut it.


A hail of 30mm grenades will end a drum circle [i]fast[/i].
@QuixoticSoul Actually I want to get a [b]M134 Minigun - fires 100 rounds per SECOND - [/b][image deleted]
Now put your pea shooter away.

A couple of wannabe survivalists 😂 @QuixoticSoul @MarmeeMarch
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@MarmeeMarch That’s not a M134, that’s one of those MetalStorm contraptions that never went anywhere.

And dunno, that fully automatic grenade launcher is at least manportable, and will rain grenades on anyone within 2km of you, 7m kill radius on every one.

A hippie’s worst nightmare.
@jackjjackson If we had this during the civil war - the war the battle of Gettysburg would have ended in 3 minutes.
@QuixoticSoul What about an atomic bomb launcher - launches 10 Atomic bombs a second. Beat that !

@jackjjackson I keep something special in the garage for when the girl scouts show up.

@MarmeeMarch Like I said, my utility to the state militia would be enhanced with a few SS-18 Satans in my backyard. They carry more than ten, even.
@QuixoticSoul Oh now you are just being ridiculous -
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@MarmeeMarch Well the usual loadout was ten warheads and forty decoys - but you can swap out the decoys for more warheads.

That’s a lot of broiled vegans!
