Look, the 2nd amendment dates from an era where arms (pistols) had to be loaded with gunpowder and a bullet to "load" the pistol, every time. Which means it was impossible to walk around with a loaded pistol, unless you weren't afraid to lose an arm or a leg. Now guns are automatic and can bear 12 or more rounds and are ready to shoot at any given time. That makes a very big difference. This amendment is outdated and insane... hundreds of innocent kids die every year in America because of that. If you have kids, I have, then you should understand me...
