    The 2nd amendment was intended to provide a way for citizens to defend themselves from the British, when the US had no standing army. To implement it in modern times when the police are militarised, and soldiers have drones…would be nothing less than suicidal.

      I get what you’re saying, but 2 things.

      Americans hold onto the 2nd ammendment like it’s still needed when clearly the British aren’t the issue.

      More importantly ,by doing nothing, this is how facism explodes. Enjoy.
