Now what about them there mexicans at the border!!!
Yeah those dangerous illegal aliens coming up and killing our families meanwhile the children are killing more of our families than the aliens. Fuck the GOP, and fuck the 2nd amendment.
I'm far left, but I actually don't hate on the 2nd Amendment. It was a pivotal moment in US history, fortifying the power of the people and its rule over government.
But at the time the 2nd Amendment was written, the most powerful weapon that the average person would have had access to was the flintlock musket. The flintlock had a relatively short effective range of around 50 to 100 yards and took time to reload after each shot.
It would stand to reason that much stronger laws are required to compensate for the amount of fire power available to people now.
