Wouldn’t it be better to change the amendment, only allowing trained professionals, so that massshooting etc can’t happen? Dr Mark Skidmore found that two federal agencies (HUD and DOD) had $21 trillion missing between 1998 and 2015. Americans are not allowed to have accounting systems which would allows us to trace stolen funds and retrieve them form the thugs who run the government for their own profit. These same thugs own oil companies and Big Pharma amongst others. We have mass shootings because the shooters are doped out of their minds on legal prescription drugs that alter their minds. In the old days kids were allowed to take guns to school so they could be taught gun safety and target shooting. No Zombie drugs no mass shootings.
But if civilians had no guns, the Congress could pass laws allowing Bankers to steal directly from your bank account to make up for the trillions of dollars in losses they face on bad speculations they made.
We need the 2nd Amendment to make all the other Amendments safe from Congress. Jim Rickards (in his latest book) is predicting a series of Currency Resets for the US Dollar under Trump just like the Plaza and Louvre Accords under Reagan. The prediction is for $10,000 gold, $400 silver and a 500% increase in the price of imported goods due to inflation caused by a devaluation of the dollar. After the Reset, we could no longer print up a trillion dollars in I Owe You Nothing Federal Reserve Notes and buy things for free from overseas. We would first have to buy a ten ounce bar of gold for $100,000 and then we could buy a new Toyota car or truck.
