2nd Amendment

[Slick Rick]

oh so just because the odds are smaller we shouldn't have guns at all. thats like saying the odds of me getting hit by a car are low so lets not wear a seat belt. ? and who says they have to go totalitarian for us to revolt. every year their trying to distort/change the constitution the reason we have guns are to protect the constitution. the reason japan didn't want to invade the usa was because the civilians had so many guns. its a deterrent. i forgot how many murders their were with LEGAL assault rifles after the ban in the 1920s-30s forgot the year. but i know it was under 10. pretty much this is a statistic but most of the gun violence comes from gangs and its mostly them killing other gangs and the guns they have are almost never legally ownd. so if you want to crack down on gun violence crack down on the gangs.

Are you..
Japan didn't want to invade America? A.. O.. Bu..

Read what you write before posting it. I have had enough of pointing out the obvious, glaring flaws in every single one of your arguments.

You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass. - Isoroku Yamamoto, Fleet Admiral and Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during World War II

Sure Faustie, the civilians would be terrified. But the enemy soldier is about to barge into my home (I'm terrified by the way) with intent to kill me, I have a 12 gauge shotgun. You really think I'm not gonna sit in a room, aiming at the door as a last stand? If their intentions weren't to kill me then yes you're probably right, I'd do nothing.

What are the odds of USA turning totalitarian and murdering all it's citizens?

I don't know, but I know that they are WAY, WAY smaller than the odds of people getting shot by other people, because they have guns.

That wasn't the point.

Why didn't you direct what you just said at Faustie? He's the one who brought it up.

Because my point is that the "to protect us from the government" excuse for having guns is abseloutely retarded, which Faustie (from what I could tell) somewhat agree with.

Well... That was the whole reason for the 2nd amendment. To protect us from tyranny.
