Coming from a EU country (Greece) and now living in USA (education purposes) I can honestly say that the second amendment is completely worthless and it simply has served no purpose in a great country like USA except increasing the death toll.
Everyone has a gun out of insecurity and people here kill because on insecurity. I have been reading this thread and I see a lot of people carrying guns and have had some experiences with drawing them etc etc.
If it wasnt so easy to have a gun in this country you would not be so scared. Yes, certain other things could have happened but losing your life on the street because you drive a Porsche and some 17year old gangsta decided to f*ck with you and draw a gun at you would not have been possible. Neither, the "good guy" (read: you) would draw a gun as well and try to shoot a 17 year old.
Reminds me, I just saw the news about a guy who shot and killed a 15 year old with a shotgun because the kid was messin' with him and walked over to his loan.
These kind of events are completely unacceptable in a world-leading country. How is it possible you guys are not allowed to drink until you are 21 but you have the ability to take someones life so easily with a gun? It really does not make sense.
I do not have a gun, nor will I get one, in a case of a gun-point by a little gangsta I will give him anything he needs, because my life for sure does not worth $50.000 dollars.
Please note: I am american as well, my father grew up here in SC and lived for 11 years, I really like USA and the above is not a direct attack to any kind of party or president or history. It's just something I do not agree with because of my background.
