All Hail the Second Amendment

It is always a trade off, but the fact of the matter is the only reason why the US has not befallen to tyrants is the armed public and the intense distrust of government. This is not to say we can have a society with out armed citizens, however we are not perfect and still need armed citizens. An Ideal society is one who can have weapons and not want to kill each other. I mean we already are having issues with Cops, imagine how they will act knowing citizens ARE NOT armed at all.

If the US ever falls into the hands of tyrants it won't be someone we elected. It will be as the result of some gun nutter deciding to take matters into his own hands. I'm rooting for the government I elect not some discontent with an arsenal.

That may be, but you all cannot deny that outright banning them is a emotional response without logic behind it. The most logical thing to do is to merely have highly scrutinizing tests which should eliminate most of the irresponsible or unstable types. The uncompromising position not only defeats the entire point, spotlighting data is also a logical fallacy. If a real solution is to made on gun violence, real science and investigation needs to be done.
