What is it that America doesn't get about the Second amendment being a horrendous idea and have the intelligence to abolish it?

A lot of people do grasp that. They haven't been enough for repeal.

If the framers of the Constitution could observe our situation now, they'd ask us why we hadn't done away with the SA eons ago.  They didn't intend for the Constitution to be regarded as graven in stone even to the nation's detriment. They gave us the means to amend it.

The sole reason was to ensure that we COULD change the Constitution when necessary.

a lot of the people here are idiots with half a brain cell. it's too much to ask for them to understand that guns are doing more harm than good

The founders put the Second Amendment in there to ensure their posterity would not suffer the same fate as those who did not have the ability to hold the government in check.

From the Declaration:

 "That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive to these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. "

You cannot institute new government if you are not more powerful than the old government.

Ask "The Duck" about the battle of Athens Tenn.

If your government is full of corrupt bastards then you really need the guns for them to hold the people in awe.

Get the book:  That Every Man Be Armed.

Many others but start here.  There was a reason a peasant could not have a bow in England.

There is a reason the Barons were able to "Take King John to Runnymede", in 2115, they were more powerful and were able to force him to agree to the terms.

In every country that has take the guns from the people there has been  genocide within a generation.

The question is not why do you want the guns, the question is which group in America will be eliminated first.

We will not see one genocide here, we will see several as there are 9 distinct groups in America.

Never have this many groups lived in the same land before ins such relative peace.  And it is because we are armed to the teeth.

The most violence occurs where the guns are the fewest and most restricted.

John Calvin said:

“When God wants to judge a nation, He gives them wicked rulers.”

We have the wicked rulers and you will see the path we have been on for quite a while in Isaiah 19.

When Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn arrived in America after being exiled from the Soviet Union the press asked him “How did things get so bad?”

“Because” he said, “We forgot God”.

You cannot, and never will be Safe and Free.

As Jefferson said, and I paraphrase: I would rather be exposed to the hazards or too much Liberty, than the hazards arising from too little.

Brutus

because if you do , than every amendment can be canceled ..

I will never give my guns up and if you really want them that bad you will die in the pursuit  to rob me of my right to protect my faimly. Good luck!

Well they have the guns in case they are overthrown...

.

Guess what, U were almost overthrown INTERNALLY

.

T* almost did it. And you did not even notice.

The problem is not people that own guns legally.  The problem is illegal guns, and abolishing the 2nd Amendment would not stop illegal guns from entering the US or being used in crimes.

A large majority of people in the US support some gun control- a ban on automatic weapons and more background checks. Stop lumping us all together as an "it". 

Read THE WHOLE SECOND AMENDMENT!

NOWHERE in that amendment does it mention guns or hand grenades or surface to air missiles, does it?  AK-47, NO!  Assault weapons, NO!

However it does allow for us to build and support our military and local police but not "private militias" (whatever the hell that is).

I don't have a problem with people who hunt and who consume what they kill.  Still, in America, that's what puts food on a lot of tables still.

But still, the American Psychiatric and the American Medical Association agree that one in four Americans will have a treatable mental or emotional illness in their lifetime and this is why NOT EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO A GUN!

And no idiot should have a loaded gun in their house where children are present.

Only CRIMINALS and cowards fear the 2nd Amendment kid

It's not the second amendment that is horrendous. It is the interpretation of it.
