re: #52 Mattand

How about we fucking revisit the Second Amendment? It was written at a time when owning a gun meant the difference between your family eating or starving to death; and when there was a chance citizens could actually stand up to the government.

I hate to be a buzzkill, but you generally don’t need to go in heavy at the Shoprite to buy groceries these days. Plus, if we ever turn into a dictatorship, your private arsenal won’t mean shit.

That’s a huge losing tactic. Removing something, especially from the bill of rights, just ain’t gonna happen and proposing it only serves to justify the paranoid fears that people want to take away guns and rights. We have this debate every couple of years in this country and it always ends up (more or less) the same. I’d like to see something done and the only way to accomplish that is to be smart about it and not repeat the same mistakes over and over again.
