When your colonies rebelled, who armed them? Us, or France? Who threatened an invasion upon your shores? Us, or France? How could you have come to hate us so? Who from your very inception as a state with the invasion of William of Normandy has opposed and battled you at every turn but the French? By whose hand have more of your sons been slain?
prussia pls no.. pls.. no prussia
So many burns in that post.

Honestly, I'm in favor of the Second Amendment, but there should be restrictions. Tighter background checks, including mental and criminal history checks on anyone who wants any gun, and no military-grade hardware for sale obviously. I'm fine with someone owning a fully automatic weapon. If you look at statistics of gun violence over the years, it's gone down in the US. Yes, the school shootings and other mass shootings are tragedies but they are a tiny percentage, less than 1%, of all gun deaths.
This is pretty much my stance, too.

It pretty much says all American citizens can have guns though right?
No. It says they all have the right to have one. Not that they should.
Either way, the constitution, and specifically that part, was written at a time when we faced a direct threat from the English. It was necessary to have civilian militias, in the event that they would try to take over again. But it's not necessary anymore.
Still, people keep pointing to the constitution as if it's a holy book of some kind, to justify why they have a dozen assault rifles under their bed. That or they bring up the "we gots to be ready for tyranical gubmnint!". As you said though, an assault rifle isn't going to help you against an armored truck. That's why I made the drone joke. If the government wanted to turn on the people, no amount of ARs is going to stop them. So arguing that it would is just plain silly to me.

Don't forget about that heat-seeking Stinger missile... used for hunting purposes, of course.
You never know when those deer will start to cruise at 30,000ft

The argument is...if they take our guns away what power do we have to stop them from doing what they want. It hearkens back to the American thought process found in the Declaration of Independence...
"How can I defend myself against a drone if I don't have my .22???"

So...I actually would say that the actions of the Founding Fathers were not in line with what Jesus taught at all. But that's just my opinion...
A lot of people are often afraid to say it, or they think of it as unimaginable, but... The Founding Fathers were human beings. They made mistakes. They had flaws. Some of them were hypocrites. What's on the constitution is, for the most part great, but not divine law. Nor is it undeniably correct when it comes to every matter, especially some of the things we face in modern times that the found fathers couldn't have possibly imagined we'd ever have to deal with.

We should argue about the war of independence instead.
