I can understand its usefulness 300 hundred years ago where there was no democratic right to vote, a foreign army enforced the will of an overseas tyranical soveriegn to extort and people lived off of the land but today if you don't like your govenrment you can collectively use the ballot box as your voice. So where is the relevance of the 2nd amendment today... it has none other than to allow people to own weapons that are only designed for one purpose and that is to kill people. There is a reason that the United States has the highest gun related homicide rate in the world and that is because there are far too many guns in the hands of far too many people, many of whom souldn't have them in the first place.
I've grown up around guns all my life. I respect and value them but assault rifles and hand guns serve no useful pupose other than to hurt or kill people. In this situation I believe the health and safety issues surrounding the misuse of assault rifles and hand guns outweigh an individuals right to own one... not only from a safety prespective but also from an economical perspective. For example the law enforcment cost to license, monitor and protect society from the misuse of assaut rifles and hand guns. Additionally what about the health care costs and physical/emotionall harm caused to innocent victims and thier families who are wounded or killed each year because some nutjob with an ak 47 who lawfully owns it decides one day to go into a school/post office "insert some other public place here" and kill as many people as possible because he ate the wrong batch of fruit loops that morning that set him off. I'm sure thats was what America's fore father's had in mind when drafting the amendment.

Re: lol, Assault Weapons Ban!
---- you faust_d loser
the purpose of the 2nd amendment is to be able to fight tyrannical government. not for hunting or target shooting.
semi-auto rifles only shoot as fast as you can pull the trigger.
you don't understand what you're talking about.
no one has ever done a school shooting with a ak47. or even a mass shooting with a ak47. not very many people own ak47s in this country.
ps: GO TO HELL

Re: lol, Assault Weapons Ban!
LOL You guys are hilarious... Let me tell you that if you're a moron who shouldn't have a gun because your too stupid/menatally deranged to not hurt yourself or someone else then I think society has a right in general to say that you probably shouldn't be allowed to own one and not hide behind some bullshit amendment that has no relevance today as justification as to why you should. Futhermore I never said that someone went on a rampage with an ak 47. Its an exaggeration of the point that the prolifiration of guns in the US has caused serious societal issues for your country... take off the blinders dude and open your eyes.

The second amendment was written to allow the common man to defend himself from tyranny, whether it be from his neigbor or his governor, and you have no right to take the rights of anyone else away.
