Since Obama took office, it's been one Obamagasm after another. I'm pooped out! His Awesome is the stuff of legend, making Gilgamesh, Odysseyus, and Hercules look like wimpy little 10 year old boys by comparsion.
I got in the email one of those political things, one that is usually on the side of reason. But this time they were bitching about Obama wanting to work on gun control. They were whining about their 2nd amendment rights.
You know, I've always hated the 2nd amendment. It was put there by the founding fathers because it was relevant at the time: not only were guns necessary for hunting, and hunting necessary at the time for eating, but they also won wars. Well nowadays, things are a much different. There are no more wild frontiers to defend one's self against, no legitimate reason to hunt anymore, many of the animals that *are* being hunted are endangered or otherwise threatened, and in this world of nuclear bombs and biological warfare and other weapons of mass destruction, anyone who thinks they can win a war with just guns is at least seventeen kinds of delusional.
So the simple truth of the matter is that guns now do vastly more harm than good. I say America is long overdue to ban guns entirely. Only the military, the FBI, and the CIA should have guns. Yes, not even the police should have guns! (Well, except for the SWAT teams.) Gun "control"? Doesn't go far enough. Delete the 2nd Amendment, add a new amendment to make it illegal to make any further changes, and then destroy all guns, and make even a BB gun illegal. Then arrest or kill anyone who won't give up their guns. Hell, I even think *toy* guns should be outlawed and confiscated! (Except for toy ray guns and clearish-plastic water pistols... and other things that are *obviously* not real guns.)
