If they foresaw 200 years down the road their decision would allow the slaughter of 20 children at a elementary school, I think we would have a different set of principals in motion now.I knew someone would say this. Please, we are not talking about some esoteric weapons here. Our forefathers didn't have modern day guns in mind when they wrote the 2nd amendment, let alone realize how their rulings would be abused by future generations. They couldn't have known . Well, we DO.Being that when the second amendment was written, firearm technology was limited to muzzle loading single shot weapons. And the 1700's wasn't prone to serial murders or terrorism. Times have changed, mindsets have changed, and technology has advanced beyond what our forefathers could have comprehended. We have to reassess our need for firearms (and various side issues relating to them) and put things in perspective.
firearm technology was limited to muzzle loading single shot weapons
false
why do you keep making that claim
they surely did
the did not pen
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed except
for the Lorenzoni pistol
By the way, I like the idea of guns, and the freedom they symbolize. On the other hand, I know what harm they can do, I have never owned one, and I will never hurt anyone. I have no problem living in an America were nobody has guns. Why is that such a big deal?
Well, you realize this is a cyclical argument. There's always bad guys. If we never had guns or if we are armed to the teeth. They got guns, we need guns to protect us...By the way, I like the idea of guns, and the freedom they symbolize.

problem is
the bad guys do not honor such ideas
so the idea of a gun free world is absurd

Well, domestic incidents tend to be the most violent things. I have seen fathers threatening sons with guns, I have known of husbands shooting to death their wives in fit a pique. Protecting the family? This claim rings a little hollow.Well, you realize this is a cyclical argument. There's always bad guys.

you can protect yours with a book to throw at them
that is your choice

Don't be ridiculous. A gun specifically designed for military use in combat has no reasonable purpose for civilian use, even if it is no longer full auto capable.
Domestic violence, like any crime will happen sans guns. people will use fists, knives, bludgeon or whatever. guns just make it easier, do we need to enable criminals? I am OK without guns. I am good without condoning any sort of violence. But Guns? My father was in WWII, he fought the fascists.He was shot by a Japanese soldier . Years later, I confronted him in one of his drunken post war traumatic rages, with a gun in his hand, he threatened to shoot me. I loved him, his was my father. Not seeing firearms in such a glowing halo unquestionable aura as some of you. Sorry.Well, domestic incidents tend to be the most violent things.

has not happened in our household
maybe you come from a violent family
perhaps already barred from owning firearms

I think you missed this part ...
The Founding Fathers could not have foreseen the advancements in modern technology ... BUT
They had just used the firearms they had available to overthrow an oppressive government in a Revolution.
It would be stupid to think they did not consider that when writing the Second Amendment ...
Furthermore ... The Second Amendment doesn't say a damn thing about hunting ... But it does say "the People" have the right to bear arms.
We aren't asking people like you for something we don't already have ... You are attempting to limit our existing freedoms.
You have nothing to barter with ... We will not come to a compromise because you have nothing to offer.
.
Actually since the supreme court ruled a weapon must be of use to the military to be protected by the 2nd you make a valid argument WHY the ar-15 can not be banned, thanks for that.Don't be ridiculous.

So why do so many gun nuts try to pretend that it is just an every day civilian rifle? I think you have an honest reason to say what you say, even if I disagree with you for several specific reasons. The large majority of gun nuts will just say anything to try supporting their position, even making obvious lies about a gun specifically designed for combat being just another gun.
