GUN CONTROL

[Vteckidd]

Driving is a priviledge. Owning a firearm is a Constitutionally protected individual right that was so important that the founding fathers thought to write a specific amendment for it.

Actually, the states pass laws regarding who is allowed to purchase firearms. And if those people demonstrate that they can properly handle a weapon, I have no issue with them having one.

they couldnt write an amendment for something that wasnt invented yet :P

Just like people argue that the amendment was meant to protect 1770 POWDER LOADED MUSKETS with Ball rounds that took 45 second to load 1 shot, NOT 100 round mag semi/fully automatic weapons that can cut down trees.

I dont like to play "im smarter than the fore fathers" so i dont pretend to know what they INTENDED, i just look at what they wrote. I dont believe my way circumvents anything they wrote.

They made many statements on firearms - read the quotes, and look up more for yourself. They had just come out of a revolution, and a war - they knew that firearms kept an oppressive government at bay. They were very clear in their statements.
