The Second Amendment has nothing to do with hunting.

So what civil war is the US been fighting over the last 50 years that has left over 1.5 million dead by guns?

58% of that 1.5 million were drug and gang-related, most committed with illegal firearms by people who were not legally allowed to have a gun, 33% was suicide.

There are over 100 million legal gun owners and over 300 million legal guns in the U.S. If law abiding citizens with guns were the problem, you would have a lot more people being shot.

The problem is criminals. Which is why more gun laws will not solve the problem. Criminals don't tend to follow the law. Look at the areas that have the strictest gun laws. They also tend to have the most gun violence. I am not saying that gun laws cause the problem, they just don't do anything to address the real underlying problem.

Guns are not the problem, people are the problem.

Aren't 30 million a year saved by guns?

Nice job proving people wrong in the comments m8

Correct, the American Civil War was not about the Second Amendment.

However, it did allow the southern soldiers to be armed before the government could secure a supply. In fact even after the government was established, most Confederate soldiers still used their own weapons.

The Spanish Civil War was also not about the right to bear arms, but again, it allowed the nationalist to defeat the socialists using their own firearms in the beginning.

The point is that it is better to be able to fight back than to be eliminated as happened in Cambodia, China, or the Albanian Genocide.

yes. citizen militias

Oct, I think what he means is that guns give people power to defend them selves from an abusive government. We constitutionally have the right to overthrow the govt, and guns help us with keeping that power.

That's a rather right point of view for a left memer.

then why are you here without an argument
