Nobody is trying to "silence the majority" or "take their weapons." They're just trying to keep them out of the hands of maniacs who would use them to k**l or injure innocent people.
I would expect crazy talk like that from a woman who looks like a Barbie doll.
And I would expect such a reply from the little boy of the bronx~~
Not having read this entire thread I’ll opt others have tried to educate you a bit so if what I say here is redundant then just take it as a need to read it again for comprehension...
Supreme Court~~ The Court ruled that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution confers
an individual right to possess a firearm for traditionally lawful purposes such as self-defense. It also ruled that two District of Columbia provisions, one that banned handguns and one that required lawful firearms in the home to be disassembled or trigger-locked, unconstitutional.. In cases in the 19th Century, the Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment does not bar state regulation of firearms...
Amendment does not bar state regulation of firearms. For example, in United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542, 553 (1875), the Court stated that the Second Amendment “has no other effect than to restrict the powers of the national government,” and in Presser v. Illinois, 116 U.S. 252, 265 (1886), the Court reiterated that the Second Amendment “is a limitation only upon the power of Congress and the National government, and not upon that of the States.” Although most of the rights in the Bill of Rights have been selectively incorporated into the rights guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment and thus cannot be impaired by state governments, the Second Amendment has never been so incorporated. UPDATE: In McDonald v. City of Chicago, 561 U.S. 742 (2010), the Supreme Court addressed this issue, ruling that Second Amendment rights are applicable to states through the Fourteenth Amendment...
Now pay special attention to the Parker case I reference below when you look it up... It addresses some of your concerns of those not fit to have a right of ownership of a weapon..Just a hint for you..😉
Justice Antonin Scalia, wrote the Court first conducted a textual analysis of the operative clause, "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." The Court found that this language guarantees an individual right to possess and carry weapons. The Court examined historical evidence that it found consistent with its textual analysis. The Court then considered the Second Amendment’s prefatory clause, "[a] well regulated M*****a, being necessary to the security of a free State," and determined that while this clause announces a purpose for recognizing an individual right to keep and bear arms, it does not limit the operative clause. The Court found that analogous contemporaneous provisions in state constitutions, the Second Amendment’s drafting history, and post ratification interpretations were consistent with its interpretation of the amendment... The Court asserted that its prior precedent was not inconsistent with its interpretation... Imagine that...
The Court stated that the right to keep and bear arms is subject to regulation, such as concealed weapons prohibitions, limits on the rights of felons and the mentally ill, laws forbidding the carrying of weapons in certain locations, Etcetcetc...
It stated that this was not an exhaustive list of the regulatory measures that would be presumptively permissible under the Second Amendment.

Finally, this Barbie Doll suggests perhaps visiting with Ken who may be able to shed some light on proper Etiquette techniques when replying to others rather than trying to fly on “your perceived perception of self grandiosity..”
