'Hell, yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47' - Beto "Whitey" O'rourke

One thing that needs to be added in about the second amendment is an understanding of mental illness that didn't exist back in the day.

The 2nd Amendment makes no mention of "mental illness". Who gets to determine who is "mentally fit" to own a gun? Why do they get such power over people?

Another is the realization that you have access to all available civilian arms but it's societies prerequisite of what are civilian arms.

You don't get to decide which guns people can and can't have. See the 2nd Amendment.

This has been a no brainer but the NRA and other money interests in government have warped this.

No. YOU are warping the 2nd Amendment.

People in the military don't even carry large arms around all the time. It's impractical and stupid.

Okay.

Still, we have people that think they not only need

You don't get to determine what another person "needs" or "doesn't need".

weapons outside the guise of civilian grade

What is a weapon "outside the guise of civilian grade"?

but they should carry them everywhere.

Fine with me.

You nuts aren't in a warzone getting lunch out.

Irrelevant.

Some even think they should have access to dangerous war arms on a regular basis that only certain people in the military use on an as-needed basis.

Define "dangerous war arms".

People should be able to keep and bear ALL arms. Read the 2nd Amendment.

Mental illness didn't exist "back in the day"? Who the hell are you trying to fool?

To be fair, Jane wasn't asserting that mental illness didn't exist back in the day, but rather, she was asserting that we have more understanding of mental illness now than we did back in the day.

"Another is the realization that you have access to all available civilian arms but it's societies prerequisite of what are civilian arms." WTF?? What the hell does that mean?

I have no idea what she was trying to say there... In any event, it is a rejection of the 2nd Amendment.

You know nothing whatsoever about the NRA. Don't try to peddle your oblivious bullshit, no one's buying it.

Agreed.

No, and neither do we. Myself, I have no interest in lugging a rifle around unless it's at the gun range or the woods while hunting. It's kinda stupid in my opinion.
That said, you don't know shit. "Outside the guise of civilian grade"? WTF? I have guns more powerful than a soldier's sidearms. I have actual military issued side
arms. I don't carry them everywhere and no one I know does either.

You don't think I should own service weapons. Tuff shit, I do. So do millions of other Americans, and safely I might add. Pick a subject you know at least something
about, firearms is not one.

Correct. She has little understanding about firearms. She just wants to punish all law-abiding citizens for what some criminals did.
