Second Amendment

[Pyryck]

33. Re: The 2nd Amendment

For a country and society founded in violence from firearms, expanded by the violence from firearms, where ever single day the government exerts its authority by the threat of violence from firearms to compel compliance to laws and authority, the idea of reducing the threat of violence from firearms means total upheaval, reordering and restructuring of American culture, mindset and way of life.

The unspoken, unlegislated ideas behind the 2nd Amendment provide a means whereby the citizens would have a way of keeping in check the exertion or overreach of authority from oppressive future governments and leaders.

Personally, I think that the USA will not reach a point where society decides and chooses to reduce the threat of violence from firearms.

Maybe in some far off future, humanity will reach a point where it no longer requires the threat of violence from firearms from the people or the governments over them to reach an accord, or agreement that benefits both. Just not in my remaining lifetime.
