(2,382 posts)... and your "logic" is so full of holes it's only just barely worthy of a response. By your reasoning there shouldn't even be laws against murder, because someone will do it anyway.
Have you ever noticed how Wayne LaPierre's malignant minions always gloss over the "well-regulated militia" part of the 2nd Amendment?
And it should have read, "the right to bear single-shot, smooth-bore, flintlock muskets shall not be abridged." The concept of interchangeable parts for the British Army's "Brown Bess" was quite new at the time of the Constitution's writing, and the metallic cartridge hadn't even been thought of, let alone automatic weapons.
Laws must be updated and revised as technology advances the mechanisms they regulate. If we don't blow ourselves up, or poison the planet first, the 2nd Amendment might someday read, "The right to bear incinerating death rays in our eyeballs shall not be abridged."
