We're not a democracy.

We are a Constitutionally Representative Republic.

Besides the Second Amendment allows you to not only defend yourself and your family it grantees your other rights under the Constitution. Ones you start removing core rights other rights like say the First or the Fourth will shortly follow there after.

Look on some college campuses and their wanting to remove "hate speech" and so called "safe zones" That is an infringement of your First Amendment rights and many would happily take that from you if you even dare to disagree with them.

America's going left, politically.

The 2nd Amendment will be repealed, or amended, within 15 years.

Guns WILL be banned. And they will be confiscated. Americans lost their right to own guns when tyranny came - and their cowardice prevented them from picking up their arms.

Well-regulated militias? No. lol and The People don't consistute a WELL REGULATED militia.

At their center, all western democracies with any relevance are fascist military entities. It's been proven in Greece and Spain. The northern states are just more affluent and thus more content with their fairytale world.

If elite hierarchies were ever gravely threatened by mass revolts in the modern age they might take great damage but in the end the military has nukes and submarines. They'll take over, not armed gangs though they may ally with them. The only way forward is through centuries of reform. Cannabis f.x is nowhere near being legalized despite the drug war being an elephant in the room.

I would laugh at all the faggots who talk about cultural marxism(those who aren't trolls anyways) if all them red anarchists and other left radicals weren't even more retarded.

The US is a corrupt democracy. So, sometimes the people's voice is heard, sometimes it's not.

Something like 94% of americans think it's reasonable to perform a background check before selling somebody a gun.

Yet, the legislative branch does nothing because the conservatives are bought and paid for by the NRA.

So, you have half of the government trying to do what the people want and the other half making excuses based on fear and ignorance because they care more about their own money and power than the people who they were elected to represent.

>>691287708
Good point. So, since you acknowledge that the Constitution is a living document that needs to change with the times, then you need to recognize that the definition of the weapons that the founding fathers had in mind needs to change with it. The framers may not have imagined assault weapons when they wrote the 2nd amendment, but I'm also sure that they didn't foresee the bloated welfare state that the gov't has become.
>>
>>691288854

No it wouldn't.

The 2nd Amendment is obsolete because our standing army took the place of "militias." The people can defend this country by joining the military.
