True. But the point is we have a slightly murky history of applying those civil rights equally, even today. That’s a problem

But there’s a subtext to your argument that I disagree with, which implies that of all the Amendments it is the 2A that truly defines self-determination and the basis of all civil rights for Americans

The 2nd Amendment was designed as enforcement of the other 9.

But it's outdated it was implemented at a time where guns were absolutely not what they are today

That's immaterial, to be honest. The issue is and always was to allow the people the means to fight back against a tyrannical government. So, if military and police still used muskets, you'd have a point.

Try not to take offense to this, but people who don't know anything about guns are often the people who hate guns. Semi-automatic is one trigger pull, one bullet. Just like a revolver.

There are approx 100M gun owners and approximately 30k people die via firearm every year - 1/3 homicide, 2/3 suicide. That means even if every single death is caused by a different gun owner, it would take over 33 years to get to 1% of gun owners having killed someone. 1/2

1% of 100 million = 1 million 1 million divided by 30,000 = 33 1/3 It would be wrong to penalize that much of an overwhelming majority of people, especially since the measures likely wouldn't prevent much crime anyway. You know? 2/2
