> I do have an expectation the 'free world' will inevitably adopt something similar to the second amendment. The second amendment experiment has been a disaster. No other country wants to replicate it. > Not to mention the reality that gun manufacturing is now worldwide, achievable at home and this can never ever be regulated for the rest of history. You can’t make illegal drugs in your home, why do you expect that the manufacture or firearms can’t be regulated? I am guessing you mean that it will not be practically feasible to prevent people from making their own firearms. I would say that it depends upon the penalty.

>The second amendment experiment has been a disaster. No other country wants to replicate it. There was a time when I thought the same. I very much agreed with Michael Moore, but then I learnt more. The second amendment is literally the only thing holding the USA together right now. In my opinion anyway. >You can’t make illegal drugs in your home, why do you expect that the manufacture or firearms can’t be regulated? You absolutely can make illegal drugs in your home. Many people do and they'll never be caught. The actual crime is selling those illegal drugs. If you never sell, the police are never going to catch you. Personally, the drug war has been an abject failure. In my opinion anyway. > I am guessing you mean that it will not be practically feasible to prevent people from making their own firearms. I would say that it depends upon the penalty. Rifling buttons and cnc machines are quite available at very cheap prices. 3d printed guns are even a thing. What penalty? The right to bear arms in the USA shall not be infringed. The proposed laws of requiring 3d printer owners to have background checks like firearm owners might become a thing but there won't be any infringing penalties.
