I have several objections.
1. You are not in a position to critisize USA contitution. We are all
guests here, even citizens. We cannot complain
about historical foundation of the country. Nor you neither your
ancestors built the country. You do not like the foundation - you go
home and set up whatever you like there.
2. The human nature has not been changed since 1770s. People are
as wild and as stupid as in 18s century. No more, no less.
I do not buy this BS that "conditions have been changed".
3. You obviously do not understand WHY people must have
weapons.
According to constitution, average Joe must have means and tools
to defend himself against oppressive goverment. This is not
for fun, not for hunting, not for target shooting. This is a liberty
instrument. For this reason, all ASSAULT weapons must be
allowed. I do not care about hunting/fun/etc. There is no
constitutional rights to hunt. You cannot use your hunting
rifle to defend himself from goverment. You need a real assault
weapon to deal with goverment. Very smart people decided that this
right has to be in the constitution, and they must had
reasons for this. If the thing is a conditional matter, than they would
not need to put it into the constitution - an ordinary law would
be enough. But no, they wanted to make it non-reversable.
4. 2nd amendmend has symbolical importance.
It promotes self-reliance and responibility of the public. This
is the thin boundary between a liberal society and
a communizm/fasizm/etc regimes. I do not believe that a normal
society is possible with such restriction. Europe is not an example,
Europe is slipping toward communism every day, Europe is dead.
5. There are so many things around us which are so dangerous.
Sugar, oil, cars - half of things around us are more dangerous
than guns, and take higher toll than guns. Why liberals
are aiming at guns ? See number 4.
