Sure, just throw away all of our other rights while we're at it

Why would we do that? That’s dumb. Let’s just get rid of the thing that literally every politician uses as a shield when we talk about doing more common sense things. I don’t blame anyone for wanting to get rid of it since it’s been misappropriated to be a counter argument to literally every single slight restriction on guns.

Nah. Let's just repeal the 2A. It's proven useless at this point in the American evolution. It does nothing to advance society and, in fact, does everything to deter it.

I don’t know how you can argue that it’s NOT unconstitutional. Looking at the constitution as words on a piece of paper, the right to bear arms & assemble militias is there. To suggest we do anything that violates that is by definition unconstitutional.

Maybe it would be a good thing, maybe it would end with the government committing human rights atrocities. Can’t know til it happens, or doesn’t.

That doesn't mean the 2A is limitless

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Where in that statement is a limit? Shall not be infringed seems pretty clear and obvious. If guns are banned it will be unconstitutional, that doesn’t mean its right or wrong but it is absolutely against what the constitution says.

Look at what the Supreme Court has said

The Supreme Court ruled that while some limitations are permissible, common use semiautomatic firearms do not fall under such a category.

I'll put it more plainly then.

The Second Amendment says the right to bear arms shall not be infringed.

The Supreme Court says that while some limitations are acceptable, others are not.

You cannot ban firearms. It's completely un-Constitutional. And beyond that, it's asinine to punish and infringe on the law-abiding who have done you no harm.
