Man you picked the wrong analogy for this forum! Guns are a form of self expression here, so it's like the 1st and 2nd amendment added together

- IgorPartola 6y agoHah. I recently had a conversation with someone who pointed out that it is really odd to see guns as anything but a tool. As in, how weird would it be if someone formed their whole identity around their affinity for hammers or wrenches or winches or chainsaws? But when you see a “gun guy” you are like “yup, that’s America”.
- krapp 6y agoThat's what the Second Amendment, the close relationship between the NRA, Republican Party and conservative Christianity, and two hundred years of the South romanticizing the archetype of the militiaman patriot watering the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants will do. Guns should be seen as just a tool, they should be legal but heavily regulated, they don't need their own Constitutional amendment. The basic premise of the Second Amendment became obsolete once the US had a standing army.
