Prestoff 06/10/25 7:44:48 PM #22:	Glob posted... Isnt the whole point of the right to own guns so that you can overthrow a tyrannical government/ruler? Because its clearly not worked out that way. Yes, that was the original reasons our Founding Fathers wrote the second amendment. They had a massive distrust with ruling bodies, such as the monarchy, and expected us to constantly march down to the capital with Guns in arms when the government were to do things against the people's will. The reason that it won't ever happen, even if a government becomes tyrannical, because a government military will always be better equipped than whatever weapons we have on hand. What unfortunately happened was that not only did it create a gun-worshipping culture, but also means billions of unregistered guns in circulation that helps create the high rate of mass shootings than any other first world country. Almost every other first world country has some common sense gun control (or hell full on ban) and while not perfect don't experience the same amount of gun violence we see in America. --- DI MOLTO! <cite>Prestoff posted [p:985390978] in Would you ...

The Second Amendment was designed to help white slaveowners keep their slaves under control by killing those who resisted. Eh, the second amendment was more about making it so that they didn't have to have a formal military. Hence the second half of the whole shebang. If there are a non-trivial amount of people who are a part of a militia (as, back then, hunting was a very legit way for poorer people to make money) it naturally stood that if we ever got into a conflict there would be a quick call to arms followed by having a standing army out of the woodwork that the government didn't actually have to pay for at all up to that point. Especially relevant was that each of the states didn't really want to give sovereignty on pretty much any of their people/power, so having a "US Army" was very unattractive to them for quite some time. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

buddah86 06/10/25 8:43:32 PM #33:	Its crazy how many shootings have occurred in the US and nothing has been done. We had one shooting here about 30 or so years ago, that wasn't anywhere near the size of some of the ones in the US and Australia clamped down really hard on guns. Now, with the population of the US and how "freedom" based they are. I have no idea how they'd go about it. They had an amnesty period for people to hand over the guns that were banned/illegal, you can still get some guns down here, but have strict policies around it. And I think people may have been compensated by the government. We're not gun mad down here, so people complied and saw the need for it. This was done under our right wing government too!
