Access to guns does not necessarily mean someone's goign to shoot it, BUT IT MAKES IT A HELL OF A LOT MORE LIKELY, especially with people like this Cho fella holding them. Which is not to say that there is no other way of getting a gun, BUT ANYBODY CAN GET A GUN AT THE DROP OF A HAT. THAT IS SERIOUSLY FUCKING ABSURD.

no no no no no no no and no!!!
the second amendment is not about what "the nuge" sez. it's NOT!!!!
K-KRACK: ted nugent will have you believe the u.s. constitution says that, but it doesn't. IT DOESN'T! he's confusing it with the individual right to self defense.

i hate it when people ignore the obvious. for fuck's sakes.
this is the second amendment. it was originally not even fucking punctuated:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
the right to individual self-protection precedes the constitution and it didn't require a constitutional amendment, it is part of english common law & so it has always been followed in the united states.
the second amendment refers to the right of the states to keep militias in order to balance a central power. the u.s. constitution gives the federal government the power to raise a standing army & the states feared that. this amendment was a concession to those states.
i've said this 3-4 times & people voluntarily choose to ignore it.
conflating the right to individual self-protection with the 2nd amendment is wrong, misguided, and (eventually) wilfully ignorant.
ted nugent is good for singing wango tango & poontang sweet poontang but he's no intellectual & HIS INTERPRETATION OF THE 2ND AMENDMENT IS ON CRACK.
