2nd Amendment

I am for the 2nd Amendment. "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." While I do believe that parts of this are sometimes taken out of context, let me define what the 2nd Amendment is actually intended for and why it is important. The 2nd Amendment is designed for use against government tyranny. The main reason for this debate will be stated below: Following the recent tragedy that was the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, many have called for more gun control. No one here wants to see more children, or anyone for that matter, killed as a result of an evil murderer. (Or if you do, you are truly a malicious human being.) The disagreement occurs when people talk about what should be done to prevent something like this from ever happening again. I would like to make it clear however, that Dana Loesch and the NRA are NOT responsible for psychopathic killers shooting up schools. Dana Loesch has never killed anyone. Side note: how many members of the NRA have committed an act of gun violence? 1 or 2 might be found, but some seriously deep digging would have to be done. Anyway, many are spouting the idea of an "assault weapons ban". This is speaking specifically about the AR-15 and other big scary guns. A simple Google search would tell you that "AR" means Armalite Rifle, which is the brand of the firearm, not Assault Rifle or Automatic Rifle or whatever else people (without any prior knowledge or experience) like to brainwash with. Also, AR-15's are NOT automatic, they are SEMI-automatic. This means that for every time the trigger is pulled, the gun will fire 1 time. This is not my opinion, this is simple fact. Again, anyone who disagrees can look it up. Now, for those who may think that AR-15's and others should all be banned and are wondering why a normal citizen like you and me might need one, here is your answer in short: Government tyranny. Before evil dictators like Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Amin, and others committed mass genocide on their own citizens, they disarmed them. The American government and military are the strongest in the world and would therefore be the hardest to defeat if they were to turn tyrannical. Here is a quote from Ben Shapiro of The Daily Wire, referring to Nazi Germany; he is Jewish, by the way. "The... Second Amendment... Is about resistance to government tyranny... The fact that my grandparents in Europe didn't fear [tyranny] is why they are now ashes." This grim detail makes sense, if one steps back and looks at it from a factual perspective. I welcome anyone and everyone to research further and maybe watch a documentary or two about this information. With all this said, how does it relate to this debate? Again, the purpose of the 2nd Amendment is to protect civilians from government tyranny, by the use of firearms, including the AR-15 and others. Therefore, if you oppose these (semi-automatic) weapons and are proposing a ban on them, you are against the 2nd Amendment, because without these tools, the act of any government seeking full, ruthless power will be inevitable and unstoppable. Finally, just out of curiosity, please comment or respond in some way if you agree with the text of any of these quotes and/or think they sound reasonable: 1. "The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subjugated races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subjugated races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let"s not have any native militia or native police." 2. "All political power comes from the barrel of a gun. The.... party must command all the guns, that way, no guns can ever be used to command the party." 3. "If the opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves." 4. "The measures adopted to restore public order are: First of all, the elimination of the so-called subversive elements. " They were elements of disorder and subversion. On the morrow of each conflict I gave the categorical order to confiscate the largest possible number of weapons of every sort and kind. This confiscation, which continues with the utmost energy, has given satisfactory results." 5. "Armas, para qu"? ("Guns, for what?")" A response to [nation's] citizens who said the people might need to keep their guns, after [he] announced strict gun control in [nation].
