I hate seeing very poor arguments posted by other leafs about why the 2nd amendment must be voided, so I would like to present a very strong argument.
As most people know, the 2nd amendment was written in 1791. 226 years ago. It had two intended purposes. #1 With an armed populace, people would be ready to fight should America be threatened by a foreign power. #2 Should the American government ever step out of line, the people would be able to take it down. Okay so now that we understand why the 2nd amendment was written, I am going to explain why it is no longer relevant in 2017.
America has the most powerful military in the world. There is no reason to have an armed populace when you have millions of trained soldiers ready to fight with the best equipment. Also, if the American government ever did step out of line, the general populace would never be able to overthrow it. The most powerful weapon an ordinary citizen has access to is what, an AR-15? Well that is not good enough to defeat a government with tanks, fighter jets, attack helicopters, battleships, aircraft carriers, elite soldiers and a nuclear arsenal with enough firepower to destroy our planet several times.
So basically, the populace does not need to be armed because there are trained specialists to fight for America should she be threatened. Also, the populace could never come close to overthrowing the government because of the resources that the US gov't has access to.

You're argument basically says that we have very little chance against a Rouge government, so we should completely give up and turn in our guns, turning that, let's say, 5% chance in winning a fight against the government, into a 0% chance. Great fucking thinking. Fuck off.

Charles Walker
Guns are used for one thing and one thing only: killing. Killing is wrong, it does not matter what the circumstances are. Both Human and animal life should be respected. Tens of Thousands of people in America are needlessly slaughtered at the barrel of a gun every year. This could easily be prevented if the gov't took all guns away.

It does affect me though. Guns in your country are so many, and so unregulated that they get smuggled across the bored into my country and are used in violent crimes here. It's in the interest of all Canadians that the 2nd amendment is Vetoed.

1: This is incorrect. You can buy much more powerful weaponry, such as RPGs and .50 cal sniper rifles in many states, and tanks are legal to own so long as you can pay the tax stamps.
2: Armor and drones cannot enforce a police state, police are necessary to do so, and it becomes exponentially harder to do so when your oppressees are all armed.
3: Even if only a tenth of all gun owners joined the revolution (it would be far higher) and the Feds deployed every single last soldier (not possible; something like half permanently deployed overseas), we'd still outnumber them by something like 12:1 (before half of the military defected).
4: A new revolution would be backed by Russia and China, and the moment the Feds even threatened to nuke their own people they lose as the entire world turns on them. Conversely, the moment a nuclear sub defects, they lose as it points a gun at the head of DC.

Zachary Sanchez
The second amendment has and always been about resistance to government tyranny, not about defense from a foreign threat. If the government does go tyrannical, that "greatest military in the world" can turn on you in a hurry. if all 300 million Americans had an AR-15, the government would have one hell of a time trying to force compliance. That risk of a bloodbath is why we need the 2nd amendment.

No serious person has ever argued against the 2nd amendment. Their are people who love it, who think it is one of the most important ones. And there are other people who dislikes laws and borders and shit, but who who have never suggested we repeal the 2nd amendment. This second group tend to also concoct crazy interpretations of the 2nd amendment; But since the meaning of the second amendment is well recorded in legal precedent they are meaningless interpretations.

>Should the American people ever foolishly attempt to overthrow the government, I cannot see more than 3% of the population fighting. 3% of 300 million is 9 million. Way too many armed citizens for a government to attempt a civil war. The deterrent effect of the 2nd amendment is the key thing here.
Tyler White
Simple. The US is at an immediate disadvantage when they fight a conflict over seas in foreign land. When you have lived in an area for several years, even decades, and are extremely familiar with the geography, you can defeat any force no matter how formidable it is.
This is exactly why the US military would be able to stomp the shit out of civilians who stage in uprising in the US.

Seriously it's amazing how every anti gun fag says things that can be so easilly proven wrong. Like they have no idea about guns.
Tyler Flores
Listen you faggot leaf. First, okay I fell for your good damn bait. Secondly, your opinion doesn't matter, because you're a leaf and not a burger. Third, do you think the people that break the law are going to give up their guns? They acquire their weapons by illegal means, to protect themselves if they should ever murder someone. There is no way ballistics could be traced back to them. So, if you take the guns out of good citizens, then the only ones left with guns are the criminals. You're a jealous fucking idiot.

Every thread until you stop being stupid
Jack Flores
Even with a military, there is a possibility of civil war where there is infighting amongst US soldiers themselves. Plus, with outside forces such as Interpol who would back up the globalist faction in our armed forces and invade our soil...we as armed civilians even up the numbers to the foreign invaders.We have a birth given right to defend ourselves under any condition, and our own local law enforcement tells civilians to arm themselves in the event they cant make it, to aid citizens in time. THIS scenario is reason why your arguments are unacceptable...
Checkmate.

The only problem with that is that the military is the civilians. I think the last figures were around a 77% defect rate? With whole military bases being controlled by what's now the citizenry. It would be over before it started. That's why it'll never happen.

Another oddity It's legal in the US and some other nations to raise and train a fully armed military unit, even an army, provided it is intended to operate outside of the US and its possessions. The basis for various mercenary units.

You have to be the stupidest piece of shit I've ever heard. Two men broke into my home one night. Immediately call the cops and exchange gun fire with the criminals while on the phone with the 911 operator. End up killing one and wounding the other who runs off. Even with the operator hearing the gunshots and me telling her I needed police and an ambulance, it took the ambulance 11 minutes to reach my house and the cops 13 minutes to reach my house. I live within the city limits of one of the top10 largest cities in America. I, my wife, and my two children would be dead if I didn't have a gun. So I hope you go fucking kill yourself you sorry piece of shit.

it wasnt until 1934 that fully automatic weapons and "destructive devices" where restricted byt the national firearms act, by the use of a $200 tax stamp. Here in america we can own a fucking 90 mm howitzer. youtube.com/watch?v=XkVn1lzcK70&t=169s this guy could raise an army and invade your country and win. Guns are here to stay, your country did away with them before there where more guns then people. according to pew research, "Search Results A minority of Americans own guns, but just how many is unclear. More than a third of Americans say they or someone in their household owns a gun. There are by various estimates anywhere from 270 million to 310 million guns in the United States — close to one firearm for every man, woman and child". Plus the majority of law enforcment and military would never enforce such a ban, and provisions exist in the U.S. constitution where towns, counties, and states can raise militias and institute a draft. The state of arizona could probably conquer most of europe and many third world countries. See why its so difficult to take away guns? plus we can have gun parts mailed to our house and we can make our own guns easily with an 80% ar15 lower
Jacob Morales
>No reason to have an armed populace because we have the army and national guard Yeah no fuck off cunt. Just as stupid as your "But we have police" argument except you stepped it up a notch. Switching to a different government controlled force does not change the fact it is a stupid line of reasoning. Also if stopping an insurgency with tanks, jets and ships was that easy Vietnam would have lasted all of one week.
