  1. The second amendment was written at a time when a well trained man that's an excellent shot could MAYBE kill two people a minute. Now we can kill a dozen in a second or two. Also, the provision was to promote people to form militias in order to protect the union from external threats in a time when our founding fathers didn't want a standing military. A standing military, soaking up tax revenue, needs to justify its existence, so every problem looks like a military problem. They wanted US to be, not a military, but a ready force in case of invasion. They were noninterventionists. We HAVE a standing military, so the need of militias is moot. And don't tell me it's to "keep the government in line." If the government decides to radically take over, your little collection of pistols and rifles and meager stockpile of ammo isn't going to hold up against the US Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps. Yeah, collect thousands of men and arm them well... Bombs take care of that shit REAL quick, and they have Nintendo pilots in air conditioned rooms flying drones with high explosive missiles. You ain't resisting shit.
