Should all countries adopt a 2nd Amendment (Right To Bear Arms)?

 

[McBell]

With the mess the USA has made of it, why on Earth would other countries want to follow suit?

 

[Estro Felino]

No.
Absolutely not.

The USA has, and probably more so than any other country, demonstrated the insanity of having such a policy, but since it is so ingrained in their culture, that won't likely change for a century or two if even then. The world would be an even more aggressive and horrible place if other countries followed their erroneous line of reasoning - more guns makes 'us' safer, and it being 'our' right to own whatever.

Yea only the government has 2nd amendment rights. Not the citizens.

No thank you

I know, lets have worldwide shopping mall and school shootings, what a great idea.

 

[PureX]

Naw. It's mostly just Americans that feel the need to kill bad guys every waking moment.

Only if personal thermonuclear devices are included. If one is going to do something stupid then make sure that it is really, really stupid.

I will bring my rubber bands and paper pellets ( I can't afford firearms)

In the USA we keep our guns to protect ourselves and the people we love. We need to protect ourselves from corrupt governments, and dangerous groups like the ADL and BLM.

I'm pretty sure there are countries that don't have much regulation on who has what and how many guns and other weapons.

Statistics indicate that people and their loved ones are more likely to be killed by the very guns they keep in defense.

I'm not sure I've ever heard of anyone being attacked by ruthless hoards of the Bureau of Land Management.

So why is it that only Americans feel this need to protect themselves from some nebulous threat? Maybe if there were fewer guns around there would be less paranoia.
Q: Why do Europeans, Australians, Chinese, &al not feel this threat from their neighbors?

Government? If the government wanted to get you, your AR-15 wouldn't stop them.
ADL? BLM? How are idealistic advocates of peace, justice and human rights a threat to you?

The problem is not the 2nd Amendment. The problem is the rational implementation of it by a citizenry growing more and more selfish as time passes.

Even the USA has no use for it, as we have no more militias. The reason for personal gun ownership is for militias, nothing else.

Scared of black people, are you?

Do you think black people are inferior to whites?

Propaganda spread by the gun lobby.

There is no more need for militias, but this was a case of a lack of foresight by the writers of the Constitution. At that time our army was rather haphazard and for defense militias seemed to be a good idea. And for their to be militias people would need to own and have their own weapons. But now we have more than enough armed forces to defend the country, but as written it is all but impossible to limit the personal ownership and use of weapons in a meaningful way. And with an armed populace of course we will have armed criminals which forces our police force to have even more weapon options. If we had gun control as in Germany or England people could still own their weapons. They just could not keep them in their houses.

Mught as well. That population control and reduction thing isn't going to happen on it's own, you know.
