Well, actually the State governments were the biggest abusers of human rights in this country.
Trail of Tears and Indian reservations, along with medical experiments by the Feds, want to have a word with you about that.
However, the founding fathers did not want to limit the power of the state.
Except they did, which is why they replaced the Articles with Constitution which gave the Federal government more power.
But you get my point the 2A was meant to protect against the federal government.
Which we've been saying far before this thread existed.
Well, each intruder needs three bullets, minimum. Two in their cavity one in their dome. Here is an example of needing, at minimum, 18 rounds of ammunition to do that.
Not if you're a good shot. If someone is actually trying to kill you a shot to the head and they are done. But I guess to own a gun you don't need to learn how to shoot.
A good bit of advice is to not comment on things you have no idea about. Trained professionals will tell you that head shots are near impossible to make in a life or death situation, even with a rifle, which are far more stable and easier to use then handguns, hence why pretty much any gun training teaches you to make center mass (chest) shots. However, the thing about center mass shots is that the chest is protected by the ribs, which handgun rounds such as 9mm will and have grazed or bounced off of. Combine this with a criminal high on a drug which inhibits signals to the brain, and they're not even going to realise they've been shot. Learn some more things about guns outside of video games and the news.
What if there's 11 deer?
Well, why would you need to kill all 11.
Maybe they like venison, myabe they like to donate the meat to charity. Maybe so long as it's legally done it's none of you business.
Peta would want a word with you
PETA is just a bunch of hypocritical morons, I'm wouldn't listen to them.
Because they're fun.
Lives over fun
Doubt anything you've put forward would save lives.
We have. We've listed them. I've decided because fuck you that's why.
Non-specific you, don't mean to be aggressive. Like, fuck you in general, not fuck you, specifically.
Free access to guns never works out well
