==Too many categories==
Since TAR created the Second Amendment category, I will place this article in that one. If that one is a subcategory of Bill of Rights, is a subcat of Constitution etc we have it covered in the category tree. Thanks, [[User:Wschact|Wschact]] 07:01, 7 February 2015 (EST)

== Second Amendment question regarding the French Revolution ==
Hi.
I need to ask something regarding the Second Amendment.
I'm a pro-second amendment kind of guy, at least in regards to the right to defend themselves. Let's face it, we need to defend ourselves against enemies anyways. However, can someone explain in full detail what is the difference between the second amendment, the right to bear arms in other words, from, say, what the French Revolutionaries did during the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror. While I may be pro-second amendment, I can't say I'm not wary of it, because I fear that the second amendment may give some people the excuse to do something like use a shotgun on someone condemned to die by a show trial with the crowds laughing at the victim bleeding out. In other words, I need something clearly stated regarding whether there is indeed a difference between the two, something that's unfortunately not covered in the article (it doesn't even mention the French Revolution at all, which is a massive problem since Marat's Cordeliers club according to this very wiki was inspired by our founding documents). For a good idea of what I'm getting at, here's what I'm referring to:
"The "moderates" [of the French Revolutionaries] fared just as badly. Cities like Lyon, Toulon and Bordeaux, which were led by the Girondists against the Jacobins, were partially leveled and their inhabitants decimated. When the guillotining threatened to go too slowly, '''many victims were drowned and others were executed with shotguns, so that the crowds could revel in seeing them slowly bleed to death.''' (Napoleon, a Jacobin, and close friend of Robespierre, achieved his first victory by subduing "unruly" Toulon.)" Emphasis mine

Another thing I need clarification on, on a related note, is whether the second amendment matches up with essentially what Ocelot here was talking about here: https://youtu.be/zlPTJQF-3X0?t=75 Especially his bit about the wild west, because the implications of what he was stating were... less than pleasant, even if it was slightly better than the Patriots plan of absolute gun control.
