Most cops support the 2nd amendment. Haven't you Democrats pissed off the cops enough already?

What guns?

^^Another new member shows up and talks about what's nobody says they want to do to reduce deaths from guns.
Nobody is talking about taking guns away. The NRA is saying that, not people talking about gun regulations. Taking guns away from people who have and never would hurt somebody would be dumb. And only the NRA is saying the dumb thing. And the "new" member is repeating the dumb thing.
OTOH, requiring insurance of one who owns a gun might make sense:

San Jose asks judge to toss challenge to gun insurance law
San Jose, California, has asked a federal judge for the second time to dismiss a gun rights group's challenge to a city ordinance requiring gun owners to purchase insurance and pay a fee to a non-profit aimed at preventing gun violence.

Don’t talk about taking away their pacifiers. That gets them all upset.Another new member shows up and talks about what's nobody says they want to do to reduce deaths from guns.

You are right, I haven't read all your posts. Do I need to before responding to you? Have you read all of mine? It's ok, you don't have to read all of them. Most are crap anyway.
In any case, if you are saying the NRA's "take your guns" propaganda is used to sow unjustified fear in the gun owning crowd, you'd be right.

One would think that with a low population density just finding somebody to shoot would be difficult. But top Montana predators know that their prey come down from the hills to drink at a watering hole at least once a day..

The Puckle Gun & 2 Other Guns that Existed in 1776 » The Thermidor
The Puckle Gun was a machine gun invented in 1718. It was far less powerful that modern weapons, but featured a rapid rate of fire and tripod mount.

The "ah-hah, gotcha" tone of the author when he said this:The Puckle Gun & 2 Other Guns that Existed in 1776 » The Thermidor

"Have you ever heard that the Second Amendment doesn’t apply to modern guns? That the Founders couldn’t possibly have anticipated the evolution of weaponry? Not only is that argument logically flawed, but it is also historically inaccurate. Behold, the Puckle Gun."
lulz. So, OK, that one is grandfathered in along with flintlock rifles. I'm OK with that being the most extreme weaponry protected under the 2A.
That author sure is smart. He just plain maneuvered me into agreeing to make the Puckle gun legal and ban all firearms invented after that. Where can I sign the agreement?
This is such a stupid issue.

Lemme see if I got this right.
America has the most guns per population than all other western countries not at war.
America has the most gun deaths per population of all other western countries not at war.
America has the most mass shootings of all other western countries not at war. Over two per day this year so it could almost be called a national sport. Maybe an Olympic sport down the road?
I think it's way past time for some amendments to the 2nd one. It is, after all, just an amendment.

The second was for military purposes and it doesn't mention guns, it speaks of arms in a military context and that includes grenades, bombs, artillery and even rockets, as in the rocket's red glare. All were military arms in existence and used at the time, so their technological descendants should be legal just like guns are. According to the pickle gun theory you should be able to own a M-777 artillery piece and shoot it off in yer backyard or have an RPG for home defense. The original intent of the founders is paramount here, common sense has nothing to do with it, the constitution is a suicide pact.The Puckle Gun & 2 Other Guns that Existed in 1776 » The Thermidor

The 2nd amendment is a child of the 1780s, both in technology and society. Originalists try to obfuscate that.Lemme see if I got this right.
