I am really, really, REALLY tired of hearing the same old tropes from the Second Amendment Fundamentalists, who have all failed to either READ the Second Amendment or read its history. Its current interpretation of “everyone gets as many guns as they want, wherever they want, regardless of the danger to the community or the person” is very, very recent.
DO NOT tell me that this has to be accepted, or somehow there is nothing we can do. We are the ONLY nation in the world that has this problem. There are plenty of proposed solutions that would protect the right of legitimate citizens to own and use guns.
Indeed, even if you think you have to have guns to protect yourself against the government (First: HAHAHAHA! Good luck dealing with an atomic weapon or tank; second, the Founders licensed people with guns in the militia, so they disagree), an enormous number of people kill themselves with guns — again, far more than anywhere else in the world. Just like opioids. Perhapas we should consider some REASONABLE limitations, hm?
Yep.
