    The Questionare Extraordinare

    I believe that it was, when Americans had to hunt for their food or defend their homes, but now that food is readily available in little air-tight packages at a super market, I don't believe that they are really necessary anymore. However, I do not believe that it should be removed from the constitution for the simple fact that when the constitution was drafted, this amendment was meant to only apply to the armed forces and/or those citizens for whom guns were a necessity.

    • I agree it isn't a necessity. But the reality is they are there, you can't undo an object by making it illegal. countries what have a higher gun:people ratio have proven to have lower violent crime rates and vice versa.
      look at Switzerland, Newfoundland,and Finland
