Inequality Highest Since Great Depression

There are millions of firearms out there, and many millions more that could be seized from the government. Logistically, it is impossible to ban or remove those guns, and most places with a conservative slant would pass local regulations protecting gun owners, as in fact they already have.

The point being that the Second Amendment has never done anything to protect your society, but it has done much to harm it. It is an issue better addressed at the local level, which is also preferably from a democratic perspective, IMO. A community that loves it's guns should be free to set whatever regulations they want, or have no regulations at all. The feds should stay out of it completely.

What do you mean guns are out? Last time I checked the majority of Americans liked guns. Letting them set their own regulations by getting the feds out of the game entirely would greatly empower any real, local democratic movement.

The point about guns is that you'd think a gov't would fear armed revolt from probably the most armed population on the planet when the economy collapses and only the thinnest sliver of the population is living well or even luxuriously.

But they don't. Why? Because they know nobody will ever do shit with them except shoot each other.

Indy, we all know you'd be the shrillest bastard ever if people actually used guns as a means of resisting government. So why are you acting as if you'd change your mind if only that happened?
