8. The Second Amendment

does NOT preclude regulation and oversight of the ownership and use of lethal weapons. The Second Amendment does NOT permit the unfettered supply of guns to criminals by "legal" no-questions-asked private sales. The Second Amendment does NOT permit gun owners to carelessly allow access to their deadly weapons by children.

Yes, we have the Second Amendment, but the NRA uses it as a marketing tool for profits for their gun manufacturer sponsors, and has made a mockery of a Constitutional Right through the corruption of right-wing politicians (from both sides of the aisle). Gun nuts make a mockery of the Second Amendment when they walk around in public with an AR-15 strapped over their shoulder just because it is their "Right." The Second Amendment does NOT grant individual gun owners the "Right" to determine when it is time to overthrow the elected government of the United States of America.

The Second Amendment does NOT guarantee that it should be "easy to get your hands on a gun."
