When the 2nd amendment was written, it was some 230 years ago. They said they wanted a well regulated militia because it proved the best way to defeat an enemy. Guess what we have a well armed militia and we spend billions on them every year. If you are so afraid of the government, why do you elect right wing nut jobs that give this much fucking money to our militia? It makes no sense. You drive around with the mercian flag and talk about pride in merica but you are afraid of the government?
We need to take the amendment in context of the time they were written. The next amendment or commonly known as the 3rd amendment is the one that gives you the right to not let soldiers occupy your home. We really don't have a problem with that, just like we don't have a problem with a well armed militia. I know it is hard, but we have to understand that the constitution and the amendments were written by men, not "gawd" so there is a chance albeit a slim one that we need to think critically about the time that these documents were written and apply the meaning in todays term.
