A respectful note from the rest of the world: the current, conventional interpretation of the 2nd Amendment is batshit crazy.
It would be hilarious if it didn't predictably result in over 30,000 gun deaths a year.
- refurb 14y agoI'm going to guess that Switzerland doesn't share the opinion that America's gun laws are "batshit crazy". Every citizen who has served in the military (most of them due to compulsory duty), is required to keep a fully automatic weapon in their house. You have a country where a young man can do his grocery shopping with a military rifle across his back and no one bats an eye: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/53/Caroline-Migros-p1000507.jpg/450px-Caroline-Migros-p1000507.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/53/Car... I'll also guess that Israel has similar feelings too.
- pyre 14y agoI'm sure that military service: 1) Is a better filter of those that shouldn't own a gun. 2) Trains a certain level of responsibility / respect for the weapon.
