Mass shootings have become institutionalized as an almost normal part of American life, as have the responses to such shootings. After each massacre, victims, their families and gun-control advocates bemoan the latest atrocity and call for background checks and a ban on assault weapons. Gun rights advocates oppose such reforms and stand behind the Second Amendment. |

Bullpuckey history.
Not that there wasn't a lot of atrocities in our history. ALL countries are - or were - born in sin.
America does not have the sin market cornered.
Slavery existed long before America.
All cultures that migrate clash, one wins, another dies. And the people in those cultures had their own weapons as well.
We know why the founders wrote the second amendment.
Read THE FEDERALIST PAPERS. There are other historical documents as well.
It is amazingly deceitful to attribute the second amendment or its authors' motives to wide spread human aggresion which every culture possesses.

TO REMEMBER |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
