@Shanks4Smiles staying alive isn't about being right, it's about being intelligent. the 2A, along with every other right, has no inherent virtue or ability to protect us. those who sit in the white house, right now, would completely delete the 2A if they could. but practically, they can't, because they can't snap their fingers and make 500 million+ guns, spread out across the 3rd largest nation in the world, disappear. implementing a total repeal of the 2A, even if it were successfully voted on, would be a total bloodbath for everyone involved. there is nothing backing the existence of rights except force and a polite agreement between the members of a society. the government owns a monopoly on the legal use of force. that leaves polite agreement, which isn't worth piss in an ocean.
the reason why the 2A is so important is because it continues to vest us with the means of force to make the other rights have meaning. to make it worth anything, a civilian must NECESSARILY ignore the legality of the use of force in some situations. if it were to go away, it may not make a difference, as long as enough of us agree to continue manufacturing and bearing arms, but eventually if the government is strong enough, that idea will be quashed
