What is your opinion on the Second Amendment?

@easterniowegin Yet many multiple numbers of people die very violently from them without cause or reason.

@NativeOregonian more die from automobile accidents...by almost a factor of 100. What's your point??

@NativeOregonian Remove suicide and inner city gang shootings and there are not many left. Surprisingly to many, the counties with the highest gun ownership are among the lowest in violence.

@sunrisehawk unfortunately you can't apply logic and facts to a moral right fight. Lol

@sunrisehawk Nah.

And it’s totally possible to do gun ownership right, which the first-world countries with high gun ownership that aren’t US tend to do.

Czech Republic, Switzerland, etc - they have guns, they just don’t have our retarded “anything goes” system where you can buy a gun in an untraceable private transaction that you don’t necessarily even have to show ID for.

@easterniowegin [quote]Over the years of this young country's life, it had been mentioned multiple times that it is knowledge of the millions of gun owners here that has effectively kept any foreign army from attempting to overtake us.[/quote] Wait how did I miss this in the first place? Dude that is just a gun nut fantasy. It was the oceans. Nobody was ever that concerned about our hillbillies.

Cross-oceans of a super (or even a major) power are [i]hard[/i]. Even we can’t actually do it - typically requiring a six month build-up in friendly territory for an Iraq-sized adventure.

Think back to how much of an undertaking D-Day was - and Germans were long finished by then and had no manpower to work with. China can’t invade Taiwan. Not even “it would be hard” but literally can’t.

And you think it was the deliverance set that is intimidating everyone? Lol.
