From that perspective, the 2nd amendement is basically a hollow one.


Gasp! Them’s is fightin words!
On a serious note the 2nd amendment was put in place by our founding fathers for a reason. We had come from oppression, being ruled by a tyrant king who cared nothing about individual rights or liberties. The 2nd amendment is for our protection - the basic human right to defend ones’ self and loved ones – It is to protect us from (what could become) a corrupt and overpowering government. Did slaves have a means to defend themselves from slavemasters? Did German Jews have personal firearms to stand up against the Nazis?
