THE SECOND AMENDMENT IS OBSOLETE!

Yes, America, the 2nd Amendment is obsolete.

The purpose or the 2nd Amendment, the reason it was written, was to protect the existing state and local militias because many of the founding fathers opposed a national standing army.

This purpose no longer exists. We no longer rely on volunteer local and state militias to protect our communities, states and the country and to fight wars, as was the case in the Revolutionary War and before. We now have local, county and state police forces, the National Guard and national Armed Forces.

Since the purpose for creating the 2nd Amendment no longer exists it is totally obsolete and has no relevance today.

Sara Huckabee Sanders, the former Trump Administration official liar whose job it was to lie to the American public and repeat and defend the lies of Trump, recently tweeted one the stupidest things ever, even from a “Trumpee”, which is, sadly, also erroneously believed true by some Americans and reinforced by the NRA –

“No, we have guns because it’s our God-given right enshrined in the Constitution.”

For one, I don’t recall it saying anywhere in the Bible that God has given man the right to own a gun.

And let me quote conservative Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger –

“The Gun Lobby’s interpretation of the Second Amendment is one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American People by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime. The real purpose of the Second Amendment was to ensure that state armies – the militia – would be maintained for the defense of the state. The very language of the Second Amendment refutes any argument that it was intended to guarantee every citizen an unfettered right to any kind of weapon he or she desires.”

Before I leave the subject let me make one thing perfectly clear.  There is absolutely no legitimate reason for any American to own an assault weapon.  If the government acknowledges this and appropriately bans Americans from owning assault weapons, as it had in the past, saying people shouldn't be able to own assault weapons - why wouldn't you have a mandatory buy-back of currently owned assault weapons? It is only logical. 

The government would NOT take the rifle you use for hunting or target practice – but it should take your AR-15, your AK-47.  No American should be allowed to own assault weapons, regardless of when it was purchased.
