What do anti-gun people say about the second amendment?

Answer 1

The original intent of the drafters could not have included automatic and semi-automatic weapons as they weren't invented at the time of drafting. There is a very big difference between keeping muskets and shotguns the guns in use today. Also, a lot of anti-gun people aren't against all guns or having weapons. In fact, many are just for the ban of gun shows or the sale of guns without an extensive background check. These restrictions don't seem to contradict the second amendment.

Answer 2

the anti's basically are democratic liberals by nature who feel an all encompassing government takes care of all needs, hence we the people should have no right to defend ourselves, as that's the job ( in their minds ) of the police to "serve and protect", that only law enforcement and a militia ( army as they see it ) have the right to bear arms.....the liberals also do nt like that fact that we should take an active part in our self defense, as their very nature of existence depends on us needing them...and the more we as citizens of this great country lack self respect to control our own self destiny, the more we will rely on them ( liberals, democrats and big government for all our needs.. and that's just plain wrong.

The 2nd amendment was more than just a right to keep an bear arms to have the citizenry as a check against government tyranny, it was also a means for the common man to be self independent with the force of arms to keep his neighbors in check. In those states where the anti's have succeeded to ban weapons outright, those "neighbors" know that the unarmed populace at large make easy targets for any sort of crime they wish to purvey.. and yet still the anti's will not admit enslaving such populace to defeatist principle as the basic right to self defense in which the 2nd amendment truly applies

Answer 3

You ignore the present DC gun ruling by skill of the CONSERVATIVE wing contained in the finest court that pronounced a man or woman has a suitable to undergo fingers and wiped out the DC Ban. guns are secure below the present administration. Congress compared is yet another count, yet there are a range of professional gun democrats contained in the living house presently leaving the gun grabbers contained in the minority.

Answer 4

i use to believe that it was wrong for people to own guns, alot of people dont know the reason for the amendment to posses arms, but it was passed to give people protection from government which i believe is not a bad idea with all that is going on in this world

Answer 5

Amendment II

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
----------------------
I'm not anti gun, but it wasn't written so we can rise up and attack the govt. Only stupid paranoid idiots think it is. You and I are not supposed to start our own armies. The best you can do is try to get your entire state Government interested in attacking the Federal Government, then it might be Constitutional.

You have to read the text. It's very clear.

Answer 6

Anti gun people dont have time to read the constitution or the bill of rights.

They are too busy burning books.

Answer 7

I had this gay liberal where I work and he said liberals are for peoples rights I said no they are not I said what about the 2nd amendment he said we don't need that one anymore

Answer 8

They point out (correctly or otherwise) that the second amendment refers to the right to "a well regulated militia" not individual gun ownership rights.

Answer 9

they think the right to bear arms means they can wear short-sleeved shirts. course, they can't spell either.

Answer 10

Bring back! the BIFF!
