The right to bear arms will never be out-of-date,
because history always repeats itself.
Hence the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

I hope after the last few days events that even the most primitive of American people can now appreciate that
GUNS needs to be BANNED for the general populas NOW!
Americans have shown the world that they cannot and will NEVER be able to behave responsibly with a GUN in hand.
Massacres at schools, shopping malls and Universities is common place and NOW the assassination attempt of a government official.
This would be so much harder to accomplish if the Government would just BAN GUNS.
The American people do not need them even for protection. Protection from who? The average American has no serious enemy.
Gun need to be BANNED and it looks like that day is coming. Good. I do not care how people on here think about that but with the anti-government feel to this site it proves that it only takes one or two bad eggs to spoil the party. So the easiest way is to BAN the deadly weapon.
As an added measure after the shooting of that poor congress woman who was only doing her job, I think the US constitution should be suspended till the ban of GUNS has been put into effect.
The Bill of Rights needs to be torn up and replaced with something more upto date. The right to bare arms is now outdated and will only serve to put fire in the bellies of those do not like the way the system works. Instead of improving their lives they turn to GUNS as their way to solve their pathetic lives. The Bill of Rights is too old to mean anything now-a-days and needs to be looked at before the US turn into an anarchist state.
Ban GUNS and terminate the current Bill of rights in favor of something more realistic.
PS I know a lot of you will be giving it the mouth in reply but shootings in America need to STOP. And trying to kill a government official is just plain WRONG!!! The average american has no formal training with a weapon and has no formal pass mark to achieve. If you look at driving you need to pass a test and get a license.
Americans will always resort to shooting people. Its in their nature. Anyone who does not agree with the BANNING of GUNS needs to be considered as someone who POTENTIALLY will one day do harm to someone.
A new "extremist" law needs to be introduce for gun ownership.

only those who are really deserving should be granted the right to protect their lives. those whose lives are worth protecting. Should this be the way? I wonder

Only certain people should have the rights, those who have taken it upon themselves to do something with there lives. At least those in government chose to get involved. None of you do. None of you do anything that is worth a second look. You sit at home unemployed, thinking you deserve the right of those that contribute.

3)Again, you are obviously not an american. In America, we are free citizens. We do not beg the government to restrict our rights in the name of safety(well, not most of us). The government has been flexing its muscle for a long time, which is why these things are happening more frequently.
Really? Your the only country that is getting raped at the airport security checks just to travel to another state. Where is your fight there? Thats right you dont fight it. You take it.
Americans have done nothing to "fight the tyrannical government". YES you have moaned but not fought. You never will because YOU ARE NOT and HAVE NOT been free for years.
You are the only ones in the world that think you are free. Yet when you are jobless you crawl and beg your government for money, for help with the mortgage, to feed your kids. Its pathetic really. But you want your GUNS? For WHAT? you only use them on each other. Not for the intended purpose of having them if you go via the bill of rights.
So, ammending the bill of rights as I said. IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

Thas Good.
So the next time someone says to you - we don't need the 2nd amendment - because we have a Government Military - - - and don't need a civilian militia.
You'll be able to set them straight.
Dont be cowards and hide behind your guns. If you wish to kill people do it correctly.
