It was written to ensure the populace would be a deterrent to out-of-line government. What use would outdated weapons be towards that?

And remember that the bill of rights just acknowledges inherent rights, it doesn't grant rights. Humans have an inherent right to be able to defend themselves. I think owning and carrying small arms, within reason (violent felons don't get guns, no one needs grenade launchers, stuff like thst), is a good part of that.

Even the universal declaration of human rights acknowledges an inherent right to life, liberty, and security of person. But it's clear reality that no gov can provide security of person to every individual, so they are entitled to the ability to pursue that themselves to the extent it doesn't infringe on others' rights.

What good would a declaration of rights be without any individual capacity to protect against infringement upon them by evil men?

Enough with the '2nd amendment protects nuclear weapons'. The US Constitution was written in 1790 or so. When they wrote 'arms', they meant firearms: pistols and rifles. These can be used defensively, to protect oneself, one's family, and one's property from criminals. A nuclear weapon does not work on a personal scale.

Here are some stats for you, courtesy of a liberal trying to bash Trump who is apparently unaware that he is making Trump's point and nationmaster.

French are killed at a rate of 10.5 per million people. US Whites are killed at a rate of 11.9 per million people - nearly identical. However, US Blacks are killed at a rate of 56 per million people. In other words, despite owning most of the firearms in the country American white people kill each other at basically the same rate as the French. If you want to reduce crimes, you should disarm the Blacks.

ETA: Honestly though they wont respect the laws as shown above so disarming wont work. There is only one solution removal by force.

Though to be more fair, I'm pretty sure it's a stronger correlation with socioeconomic status instead of "race."

Crime has a higher correlation with divorce rate than with poverty.

We haven't been talking about all crime though, just gun violence (or even just gun homicides).

What I said applies to violent crime, specifically, but yes, it's more than just violent crime involving firearms. (It applies to property crime as well fyi.)

Yep, it's a breakdown of civilized society, the annihilation of the family structure, by the war on America and the Western world by the leftists. That's my take on it anyway, which is btw the correct view [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Of course the "leftists" covers more than "the left", some center and right are just as much into it as any foaming raving leftist communist lunatic is.
