How has the 2nd Amendment Helped this Nation?

[Crick]

I asked this question in another thread and at least for the first couple days, not a soul provided any sort of answer to it. I was just wondering what all these folks think the amendment has done that has benefitted the nation as a whole. I'm looking for benefits to the population and the nation as a whole. Has it reduced crime? Has it staved off assaults from other nations? Has it upheld our moral fiber? Has it made us better human beings? A lot of you are very attached to the Amendment and to your guns. I just wonder what you think that does for everyone else.

Doesn't matter.

There are people out there who have been spared being the victims of violent crimes or even murders because they had a gun. There are people out there who use guns to commit crimes.

We are a society of individuals not a collective where everyone's actions are weighed against the good of the many.

Why does one of my rights have to benefit the Nation?
Has my right to religion, helped this Nation? Or my right to talk shit about our corrupt govt? What about searches and seizures?
Im sure you think you stump people with this boneheaded question but you dont.

As noted it doesn't matter. It could be terrible for the country but it's an enshrined amendment to the Constitution. You know how to change the Constitution if you think something needs changed.

How does asking inane and historically illiterate questions help the nation?

The First Amendment has done more to keep us free than the Second

'Its Not YOUR Decision If I 'NEED' An AR-15'. Washibgton Gov Signs Constitution-Violating Bill Into Law

The Supreme Court says otherwise. doesnt mean theyre right as proven with roe v wade,, governments always violate their oaths to control the people,,

Rosa Parks should have used her Second Amendment right to carry

Then nobody would have fucked with her

 

[M14 Shooter]

Rosa Parks should have used her Second Amendment right to carry

Racist Democrats prevented her from doing so.

So, you compare gun ownership to Rosa Parks refusing to give up her seat to a White man. OK.

 

[Ms. Turquoise]

Racist Democrats prevented her from doing so.

And racist Republicans didn't stand up to help her.

Rights are rights - the right to own an AR15 or your right to sit where you want in a bus, you don't need to demonstrate a need to exercise either.

 

[M14 Shooter]

And racist Republicans didn't stand up to help her.

Wow.
Sad.
Try harder.

 

[Ms. Turquoise]

Wow.

No need to try harder. Segregation was the law of the land in the Old South. Democrats and Republicans lived by the Jim Crow laws of the South.

Racist Democrats.. Right.

I'm comparing rights to rights.

 

[M14 Shooter]

I'm comparing rights to rights.

Correctly.
