It's depressingly sad that we have to consider such things, but our elected officials won't reconsider a rule made 246+ years ago by a group of dead aristocratic land-owning white men who owned slaves.

Obviously they’re dead since they lived in the 18th century. why is the fact that they were white a strike against them?

And here you are, nitpicking over minutiae instead of taking a step back and actually comprehending what I'm saying. You're just as bad as those who are pro-gun.

I understand your point that our country’s gun laws are insane and I agree with you. our gun laws are problematic because we have more guns than any other country on earth and therefore a horrific level of gun violence. That’s the reason they should be modified, not because the 2nd amendment was written in the 18th century. Those are 2 different arguments, one is the actual logical reason for change and the other is just stupid nonsense.
