    Every American should be allowed to own a firearm, the Fed should protect that. However thats states can provide stipulations.

    people forget that gun laws only prevent law-abiding citizens from having guns, not criminals. the criminals who want them will get them, leaving us good citizens with no defense. the police cant be everywhere.

    You, sir, are the champion of devastatingly effective, yet simple taunts.

    Why?

    Why?
    Thank you.

    The constitution clearly states we can bear arms. It doesn't say what an arm is. Back in the 1700s arms were pretty straight forward but now not so much. I mean a nuclear warhead is an arm.

    Yes, I am aware of what the constitution states, and that is why I proposed to alter it, to give states complete control over the matter. The constitution is a "living document", as I'm sure you know, and as such, it can be changed if we should so desire. Of course, the 2nd amendment almost assuredly will not be removed/altered, and certainly not in the manner I stated, but I merely stated what I felt was the most practical solution based on my observations.

    Why must it be rewritten? The Fed provides basic ownership while the states wrestle with the nuances.

    We are lucky to have the right to bear arms. People should respect that right by not running around shooting one another.
    "That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."
    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
