Courts ponder the second amendment

[Alex]

I would have no issue at all with completely abolishing the right of private citizens to bear arms (though maybe we could let people rent certain rifles them at the government run liquor store for hunting game).

There is no reason, beyond killing another human being for the existence of handguns. And no reason for a gun to be able to fire more than 3 bullets in a minute.

And yes, when guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns. But when there is no legal reason for the manufacture or importation of guns then those criminals are going to have to spend a lot of money creating a manufacturing infrastructure.


But as much as I'd be ok with that the first step is to amend the constitution rather than just render the 2nd amendment invisible through judicial fiat.
