Rich Young Reds Say "Repeal the Second"

In the context of today’s society, the Second Amendment is outdated. Constitutional debates over its interpretation stand in the way of the implementation of pressing public policy. Instead of wasting time attempting to fix this anachronism, we should repeal this amendment and focus our efforts on legislation that will actually protect the “security of a free state”—a charge explicit in the Second Amendment.

The thing is, you young fools think you'll be safe from the blow back. You might be in for a surprise there, especially if your side "wins." Didn't the Khmer Rouge execute students and intellectuals, including people with glasses, because the assumption was they could read, and thus posed a risk for discovering and spreading unsanctioned ideas? And I just love the "correction" about handgun purchase age and gun show background checks. Two major blunders in one short essay--that's some fact checking there, junior--gee, it sure makes me want to trust everything else you say. It ain't a matter of "regretting the error," you privileged little useless eaters, it's a matter of exposing your profound arrogance, sloppiness and laziness. Yep, you will all make fine "Authorized Journalists" some day.

I've known people like them my whole life. Whenever I bring up the fact that far more people died at the hands of their own governments - than died in war during the 20th century, they yawn and - with a dismissive wave of the hand - say "that can't happen here". They never take the next step and ask themselves "Why?" If they did, they might realize that it's only because of the second amendment that it can't happen here.

Voolfie brings up a good point. In college, I remember listening to group discussions about Viet-Nam, by people who were never there, and didn't vote. Like,"Rambo really helped Viet-Nam veterans". Had one perfesser go on at length about the 2A being about the National Guard. When I asked him why their name tags said U.S.Army, his reply was, "That's immaterial". Him, teaching me. Now that's funny.
