You are missing the point on firearms and the US Constitution. The constitutional protection of the "right endowed by our Creator" is also to protect the citizens duty to keep our government from overstepping their place in case they become "tyrannical".
We are authorised to overthrow our own government. This is the way that America was set up by the first government here. They formed their country through revolution and recognised that future generations may have to do the same thing again. So, they wrote the 2nd Amendment into the Constitution to ensure that the citizens would still have guns in order to accomplish the task, just as they did.
There is no other country who has recongnised this right of the people. The US Constitution is remarkable in this.
You can not compare our gun problems with anywhere else.
Haha that's utter anachronistic bullshit. So the US government advocates terrorism does it? Some would argue the government already is tyrannical. Isn't that what democracy is for anyway? Quote:
Besides, boys have always had some strange fascination with weapons. I think it's something in their blood. In every culture in all times boys have been playing with toy weapons, be that a wooden stick to represent a sword, or a toy bows, spears, and a little later - pistols, guns, rifles, etc. And don't blame toys manufacturers they just respond to the demand.
Yeh, sure I would love to have my own handgun, but there's not a lot you can do when they are banned.
