2nd Amendment: The Right To Kill People?, Is it time to amend the US Constitution? Options

[hardbodyactiv]

Considering that USA have more deaths by the deliberate use of firearms than all 21 affiliated countries in Europe, Canada and Australia...approximately 500,000,000 (five hundred million) people, do you not think that it is about time that the US Constitution was amended to outlaw the purchase and use of firearms and restrict their sale to private individuals only for the purpose of hunting and only allowing these to be of the shotgun or rifle variety?

Long question I know and perhaps a bit deep...but most of you will at some time or other encounter a firearm incident if you live in the Continental US and it is even more likely if you live in certain urban areas or states such as Texas, Florida, California or New York. Perhaps this is due to State in addtion to Federal legislation and also perhaps an explosive mix of different social & ethnic backgrounds.

Please don't just post yes or no as you must have a reason to give an answer

Does that include tanks and missiles?

yes, including tanks and missiles. just ban them from being exported, and from being shot.

when something costs 20 million dollars, and will get you in jail for 20 years if you shoot it, i doubt many people are going to buy it. register people who buy it, charge them a million dollar fee for a comprehensive history check (5 people to dig up all details of thier pasts to birth, all the people they're aquainted with, etc. all the results will be open to the public. ). trust anyone rich enough to buy a missile won't do it.



but it is about liberty and freedom. it's principle.

but what do people do with that power? nothing but kill eachother. shouldn't safety be a top priority for a country's citizens?

life > a persons right to own something that shouldn't have to be used.

it's a matter of liberty.

sure, everyone would be safer if we were all locked in little rooms with only comptuers to interact, but that wouldn't be desireable, would it?

what if the computers decided to be tyrannical?

the's a batter of liberty and maintaining liberty. The only way to maintain liberty is through power- and power comes from weapons.
