People try to point out the militia, as a defining feature that means you can take guns away from people.
The PEOPLE, as stated in the amendment, which ALSO seems to be ignored, ARE the militia for a Time of emergency, the power of the second amendment allows the Entire nation to stand against any threat on their own Soil. And the Most strict gun laws, of all laws, no matter where they are, have the highest crime rates. it's a fact that everybody having guns translates to less crime. A gun does not drive a man to kill, Only a mad man can kill, and he will kill with or without a gun.

It's the culture of the nation that decides crime, Not the weapons at hand.

Commie said it perfectly, A LAW against firearms won't keep it out of criminals hands, Just the innocent. Now the crime becomes a Lot easier with unarmed victims.

It is not a fact that less guns equals less crime. NYC and DC have/had bans on guns and those cities have high crime rates. The countries that have banned guns actually have INCREASED crime rates.
The 2nd Amendment does not specify what constitutes the militia Title 10 of the USC specifies who constitutes the militia. Every male between 18 and 45, with some restrictions, is a member of the militia.
To Joe S. I'm not the person falsely claiming that less guns equals less crimes, that would be you and a few others who don't have the sense God gave a rock. if anyone is interested in the truth check out the links below.

The 2nd amendment is not ignored by the U.S. citizen/patriot, who is armed and ready, and will never permit the left wing liberals take their weapons. There is a superior law above the protection afforded by the 2nd Amendment, and that is natural law, the right of survival, or in street language, the law of the jungle, which defined simply means that only those best prepared and fit will survive. In today's insane,nut-case, politically correct nation of idiots and dupes, one would be a fool not to have a weapon and know how and when to use it! It is true and factual, that every state which has concealed carry laws; the crimes have decreased. You will never find these facts in your local newspaper. I am not a member of the NRA, however, thank God for the NRA and its millions of loyal members and supporters. The NRA is truly an American organization for real Americans. Using the anti-gun nut's rationale,there are many objects or things that can be used as weapons, such as cars,SUVs, baseball bats, knives, golf clubs, gasoline, fuel oil and certain fertilizers,etc., so let's seize and ban all of the these, because all the aforementioned have been used by people to kill another at one time or another. There is a critical absence of common sense in today's populace of the U.S.A. Remember, never, never, surrender your weapon or weapons! If you do, you lose.

The Second Amendment is not being ignored.
Quite the opposite. The right granted under it
is being systematically infringed.
Why? - If you were one of our scandalously
corrupt politicians, would you want Joe Citizen
to have the right to own a rifle? Much less
an "assault weapon"?
You're right. "Right to carry" states and cities
have shown a decrease in violent crime.
The "anti-gun, anti crime" argument is an
obvious hoax.
There is an agenda being pursued here.
Somebody is planning something that is
going to be very unpopular, and wants to
be sure he can overcome resistance to it.

Yeah and the 2nd amendment also further defines the Militia as EVERY ABLE BODIED MALE 18 YEARS OLD AND OVER. as well. Meaning every able bodied male who is 18 years old or older is in the Militia whether he likes it or not.
It is a case of just the title being taught in schools not the whole amendment because they do not want you to know it.

No one is taking your gun away, apparently not even if you are a head case. The interesting thing about your argument is your assumption that we will have everyone armed as protection against armed bad guys.
But think of how easy it is to get angry, really angry at your spouse, or your lover, or your teacher. And there it is, all ready for you..you don't even have to touch the other person, there is no danger for you, you can stand far enough away so that your target can't even spit on you. How impersonal.
Just knowing how many loose cannons are out there tells me that arming everyone would be a serious error.
You might have less crime, but you would have more serious crime.
I'm not a gun control person, we have so many guns already that its never going to be under control, but I do think the idea of everyone walking around with a concealed weapon is not well though out.

It says "A properly regulated militia being mandatory to the protection" and "the acceptable of the folk to maintain and submit to palms". If this improve into meant for the militia it could have pronounced the acceptable of the militia to maintain and submit to palms. it fairly is for the folk, voters, individuals - no longer purely the militia. it fairly is leaving out the indisputable fact that militia is an prepared team of voters different than for a militia/military.

banning guns only keeps them out of the hands of law abiding people, it's not like criminals buy their guns legaly so why would they care if there's a ban? weapons bans of any kind are nothing but a joke, for some of us that would mean banning belts, steel toed shoes, shoelaces, pencils/pens, rope, nail files, rocks, etc, etc.. as far as a militia goes, i can be a 1 man militia or i can form my own army if i want to, it does'nt mean you have to join the national guard or serve the machine in any way.

You're bucking up against a couple generations of libs who've been fed the pablum that "guns are bad". This mania takes root in the passive/aggressive belief structure of most modern day liberals and manifests itself in their protestations against what they perceive to be implements of violence--guns.
Honest persons who value life and freedom-- while lawfully armed-- are the best protection against violent crime that we have.

The 2nd amendment says "a well regulated militia" which does not mean every one gets a gun. It means that if you want unrestricted access to guns, join the national guard.

"it's a fact that everybody having guns translates to less crime"
Most countries with strict gun laws have less crime than the US.
Japan and the UK as an example.
Does owning a gun make you stupid, or are you just stupid for owning a gun.
