(80,693 posts)You'll get all kinds of excuses and rationales and other crap about why somebody needs and just simply HAS TO have a massacre machine. Their problems just simply MUST become a problem for all the rest of us, I guess. Nobody can tell me there's a reason on earth why, that will ever make any sense to me. And Heaven knows they've certainly tried!
And their whole canard about the so-called "good guy with a gun" - hell, Dallas police were the absolute poster children of that, in the madness that erupted there, and look how nicely that all worked out. I'm fed up being held hostage to the 2nd Amendment. And no one can tell me it simply mustn't ever be touched. Baloney. If they can futz around with the 15th Amendment, there's no reason on earth why the 2nd Amendment must absolutely be immune to a few nips and tucks, and much-needed modernization, too. The 2nd Amendment desperately needs further amending. If we have ANY hope of reducing further carnage, that is.
