Matthew 26:52 seems to have slipped your mind, eh? Just keep picking those Biblical cherries, JJ.
Oh, and as for that 2nd Amendment, it was put there - whilst it was being drawn up - during a time when the fledgling USA had no established armed forces to speak of, and required it's citizens to have a gun for use as a method of defending their country, via 'militias'. Nowadays...:

The above image speaks volumes, wouldn't you say, JJ? And mere civilians would just get in the way of professional military personnel, with superior training, weapons and discipline on the battlefield, I'm sure you'll agree.
Got news for ya, JJ: one of the mothers of the children who got caught up in the massacre at Dunblane here in the UK years ago, said that if there was just one good thing to come out of her child's senseless murder, it was - as a result of the huge public outcry and outrage - hyper-draconian legislation came to pass, to ban guns here in the UK. And I was one of that huge amount of the British public involved in the lobbying of Parliament - via writing a letter to my (then) MP John Prescott - to bring in such legislation, which was passed unanimously. Our police have a Zero Tolerance policy against the mere carrying of knives in public, no less.
'2nd Amendment'?

What's so fucking great about it? There's plenty of other countries out there, whose citizens can live perfectly well without the need for a gun; Japan is even more hyper-draconian, re. gun ownership than the UK.
Your call, JJ.

Thinking about the anime/VN "Fate/Stay Night", and the reincarnation of the legendary first king of England therein, all I can say is stop it, you're turning me on. X3
*- And considering she is the reincarnated 1st King of England, thus ENGLISH pronunciation, ergo, ENGLISH spelling, it's 'SabRE'. Q. E. and D. It's not my fucking fault if Japan can't spell properly. [/rant]
