Comment on 2nd Amendment by Balddog4

I support the division of the population of America into small, manageable units that govern themselves.  Each one would contribute to our national defense should the need arise (invasion, the government trying to seize power (We've never seen that happen.  Especially in Germany.) riots, etc) just as it was done in when my country was founded.  The military is divided in that form.  Anyone who owns a weapon for any purpose than personal defense would be ingrained into the military system, so if he has the money to do so, he can buy a tank and it could be used to help quell a riot in, say, Montana.  The neighborhoods would have their own militia, funded by the neighborhood as they see fit, for the purpose of defending the neighborhood.  Weapons would be bought by families to defend the families.  Each city would have its own military leaders and funding.  They would be part of counties with the same thing.  This would continue up to the national level where the leader of these militias would be the commander in chief.  The president SHOULD BE our commander in chief.

You honestly think the police should be trusted above citizens?  Either you don't live in a police state or you support their brutality.

Average humans don't need a baseball bat, the most used weapon in assault or a car, which leads to far more deaths than guns.

So I am a sheep because I don't agree with your viewpoint.  I am a sheep for believing that the majority of people are responsible for their own actions and that those who use their free agency wrong should be forced to pay the consequences by losing what they have taken or paying back the one that they harmed.  (murder? lose life.  Steal? pay back double what you would have taken.  Rape?  Well, that just isn't something that should be discussed in an open chat like this.)

And where do mass shootings happen?  Gun free zones.  Oh, so gun free zones lead to mass shootings?  Let's make it harder for the law abiding citizens to get them.  Yeah, "Real fuckin' genius."  By the way, using said language makes you look less intelligent.  By insulting me, you lost respect.  By cussing at me, you have lost any credibility I previously had credited you.

Mass shootings are on the decline, not rise.  Police often turn a single murder into a mass shooting.
