Why we have a 2nd amendment and must keep it.

I think people need to read and understand the 2nd amendmennt.

"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"

Now you need to understand the word regulated, which simply means to control or supervise... No one is taking away your right to bear arms but it can be regulated in what and which type of arms you bear.

Yeah, and the supreme court ruled recently that it means weapons in common use.

Of course, what does that mean? The military has heavy weapons that are in common use...

I have no problem where the line seems to be drawn now. No access to area of attack weapons (grenades, missiles, nuclear bombs). Access to semi-automatic pistols and rifles should not be infringed, nor the high capacity magazines.

It took the cops 20+ minutes to get to that Connecticut elementary school. Nothing that is being proposed currently that would have stopped the shooting.

I like the idea of limited magazine capacity. Less damage can be done by the crazy. Why do you need a hand gun to shoot 30 bullets without reloading????

Why do I need a Ferrari?

The point is that compensating for a limited magazine by carrying multiple magazines and/or multiple guns makes it just a *feel good* measure.

Apparently the Connecticut shooter used 4 handguns and didnt even bring the rifle into the school.
 
Yes, it refers to self introspection, readiness, self reliance. Remember they had no Regulations. They were creating. There was no such thing as govt regulation. No govt yet.

So, it obviously means, in the terms of the day. Self regulated.

apparently it was a shotgun left in the car and your relying on one of the earliest reports (when they didnt know what was going on)

Stop it! There was no AR-15 brought into that school. Only handguns.

you stop it

the news reports of that day are contradictory just because you have latched onto one that matches your own biases does not make it true

look to the later news reports where they have had a chance to find out whats really gone on

when bad shit like this happens the news broadcasters fall over themselves to try to get a scoop over their competitors and that means that its inevitable that sometimes they get it wrong

It also says 'infringed'. Maybe you should look that one up.

I don't need 30. I don't want to have to shoot 7 bullets and have to reload at the gun range, when I go I buy a few hundred and use them all. And that is an infringement.

please link me the police report that says that it was "just hand guns"
 
If it is a gun then it is being infringed upon. Period.

Won't matter in a few years you'll be able to Print a Gun. Then what?

Being an inconvenience is about the worst excuse someone can use, imo.

Going to the secretary of state and waiting for 2 hours to renew my drivers license is an inconvenience too, but I do it because I understand there has to be a system in place that serves the general population and keeps half-blind grandmas off of the road.

You'll have to excuse me if I don't give a rats behind about this being an inconvenience for you at the gun range.
