The second amendment actually exist because if you. Britain that is. While fighting for our independence towns that where under British control had there guns taken away. They were manly used as back up for the British army. So therefore when we ultimately controlled our control we place the second amendment so highly so that this never happened again. It is for that reason that the second will never go away. No matter what our politicians try to hear us into thinking to win an election. Also in case someone tries to be a dick it wasnt just the British army that took guns of citizens in America. Our army did too, supply were scarce for both sides.
