@Dreamer9177Yea i think we need to reinforce the #2a and make it clear the right to own guns shouldnt be infringed.What we do need to fix though is the rampant and overwhelming mental health problem in the usa. When ever i travel back to the usa it feels like im visiting a mental hospital. With su h a pervasive toxic environment no wonder everyone keeps shooting and stabbing eachother.

@freemo @Dreamer9177 the second amendment is exactly there because of people who use mass shootings for disarmament campaigns

@freemo I agree with part of your statement, but the fact that these people have the access to firearms, particularly those that were designed for nothing other than use in war, need to be addressed. A rifle or shotgun used for hunting is a different example than a rifle that can be modified into a semi-automatic with a high capacity magazine. The deer aren’t involved in an arms race.

@Dreamer9177No one has access to guns intendes only for war. They use fullynautomatic weapons in the military, those are already banned.The way i see it if you are a true threat to killing someone you should be in a mental hospital. If you are on the streets, and therefore not a threat you should have the right to carry.

@Dreamer9177By the way you do realize the vast majority of ar-15 are hunting rifles... they are small game rifles in fact, theybarent even powerful enough to hunt deer. A deer hubting rifle is many orders of magnitude more powerful.

@freemo on that we can agree, but until that happens the availability of these weapons must be addressed. Family members buying weapons for children who have a history of mental issues is just an example. I’ve often wondered if palm sensors can’t be require hen purchasing a weapon so that only the licensed owner can use it? I’m not tech enough to know if that’s feasi

@Dreamer9177The issuenwith mental health backround checks is that youbeffectively say if you have mental problems and vo seek help then it will be on your perminant record and you loose a fubdemental right...End result... no one who wanta to own will see a psy hiatrist out of free of being flagged... worst possible thing you coukd do in a country that needs to be encouraged to seek more help not less.

@freemo and yet we talk about expanding mental health facilities only after atrocities occur. The pattern keeps repeating , just like the old definition of insanity. The right to own a weapon is tied to maintaining a well-regulated militia. Speaking as a veteran, people are psychologically screened and sone people are judged unfit to be entrusted with a weapon.

@Dreamer9177No the right to bear arma is **not** contingent on militia. The militia statement is clearly given as one example of why the right is needed. It ia not and never has been inte sed as the sole purpose.This is very clear by how the ammendment was applied since day one.

@freemo I believe that the militia clause in the 2nd Amendment can be applied to weapons specific designed for military purposes without infringing on the ability of citizens to own traditional rifles and shotguns. Just my opinion.

@Dreamer9177That may be what you want it to mean. But it didnt mean that. The people who wrote it explained quite clearly what thry meant and the usage of the 2a on day one xlearly demonstrated it as well.

@freemo that’s a dangerous interpretation because the Constitution was designed to be modified as required as time passed. That is why there are Amendments in the first place. Slavery was allowed under the Constitution as original written, women or non-property owners weren’t allowed to vote. Those things were changed as society changed.

@Dreamer9177I never claimed the original 2a needs to hold forever. But if yoibwant to change it you need the 2/3 vote to change it. What you cant do ia pretend it says something other than it does or other than it intended to.

@freemo I hope you had a good night, my friend. Wanted to include this article that demonstrates the ever-changing interpretation of the 2nd Amendment, as well as the Constitution as a whole, which proves why it is such a great document. It was designed to be vague enough to be interpreted as conditions warrant. Have a great Saturday 😀

@Dreamer9177I disavree, while the i tnterpritation of the co stitution does hange over time, it should not. It should be interprited as the law wad written to be. You want to change a law you shouldnt be playi g word games you create a new amendment. It was never ibtended tk be vague but itnwas intended to be amended.
