Personally, I think that the Second Amendment is silly and anachronistic, and that we’d be better off if we had never passed it, but at the same time, I recognize that it’s still there, and that, until such time (which I don’t expect to see in my lifetime) that there’s enough political awareness of that, we can’t just ignore it (or rather, ignore the rest of it… The government’s already abolished the militias that the amendment says are essential, and nobody squawked about it).
