The second amendment, in case you're not aware, mainly exists so that citizens can be armed and readily have the means to fight a tyrannical government (which you lefties keep saying the current government is), or a foreign threat, if the needs ever arise.
Which means that citizens need to have access to weapons which would effectively allow them to somewhat actually be able to fight back against the army. Guess what? You don't do that with handguns.
Now, does it sucks that a TINY, infinitely insignificant amount of nutcases decide to forego the law and decide to shoot people? Absolutely. But you'll find that no matter how many laws you put in place, you will always find a few bad apples that will break them for their own benefits, whether it is financial, moral, or ideological. I am with those who believe that punishing the overwhelming majority who respect the gun laws, due to the action of an insignificant amount of people is idiotic at best. And no amount of lefties outrage will change that.
it's not tiny. and the constitution is meant to be changed. this amendment was added in 1791.
if anybody has their idea about the 2nd amendment "based in emotion" it is people who throw an absolute MUH GUNS shit fit whenever someone mentions how maybe the 2nd amendment is being used too loosely and should be altered to be more specific or restrictive
it's not 1791 anymore. the 2nd amendment ratified in 1791 isn't working for 2019.
"How dare we have common sense regulations when the amendment says it should be well regulated!"
