- 0xffff2 8y agoThat's a pretty unusual belief. I'm under the impression that nearly no-one in Europe views the 2nd Amendment as rational. Out of curiosity, do you actively support the entire Bill of Rights, or are you just asserting that it would be better on balance, warts included?

Though European Union has started to impose some arbritary restrictions on civilian gun ownership, such as what features a gun can have and magazine capacity restrictions.
