This is from an episode of Penn & Teller's Bullsh*t on Gun Control. It explains the 2nd Amendment in simple terms.

Real individual human rights are eternal...they don't change over time because the crucial, fundamental factor that they are based on , human beings and their nature AS humans,don't change over time. A human is as human today as he was in the time of Christ. The right to bear arms is as valid for an individual today as it was two hundred years ago in America or a thousand years ago anywhere....and it will still be just as valid ten thousand years from now if Humans still walk the Earth.

You posted a purposely stupid statement. Trolls like you offer such idiocy, and expect to disrupt any honest discussion of the issues by precisely the tactics you employ. You have nothing to bring to any discussion. Others can make their evaluations of your statements, and I expect they will conclude as I have:

DO NOT FEED THE TROLL.

@LongPurple Eliminate cars to prevent car accidents

There is a faulty argument here.

Brilliant idea #1 — Eliminate all guns from society. That way, there is no chance that guns can be used in crime.

Brilliant idea #2 — Eliminate all dogs from society. That way, there is no chance anyone will be attacked by a vicious dog.

The same sound mathematical model is the basis of both proposals, yet both proposals are absurd methods to achieve a good.

Anyone proposing #2 is rightly considered a fool. What should we think of those who propose #1?

ok, now i'm not a conservative, i don't ever claim to be one, i'm only a moderate at best, quick question, now let's say ...men, let's say for example, if your ex-wife broke into your home and had a weapon, would it be ok to shoot to kill her? I say, yes!

These days its rather silly to argue over the interpretation of the 2nd amendment. Considering that the Federal government has already effectively abolished it

They call it a "background check". However, a licensed gun dealer cannot, by law, sell anyone a firearm until they receive information from the government which tells them whether or not they can make the sale

That is permission & its implementation is the abolishing of the 2nd. If its a right, permission is not required & vise versa

@Riellysdad Amen! And Amen!

One exception is all that matters in science.

Switzerland has different variables (a,b,c...) which has a significant effect on G. So the relation ship between G and g can not be found, without a,b,c...

@madass888 I do, but when the only country you can bring up to your defense is Switzerland then that tells me you dont have a frikin clue about the political situation. Its like claiming we should lower taxes because it works so good in Switzerland. Maybe you should study the population of Switzerland before you make idiotic claims like that.

@gulbirk

I thought you wanted to use science and statistics?

[gulbirk]

@madass888 Using Switzerland in any kind of arument what so ever (at least when you compeare it to other countries) is plain out stupid. Its an exception from most other countries, anyone who has studied politics can tell you that. Switzerland is not build up around, nor does it consist of the same kind of population any other country does. Pluss, I never said the gun kills on its own. I am arguing that having guns is pointless and does increase crime.
