Talk:Second Amendment (view source)
Revision as of 02:30, November 28, 2016
, 02:30, November 28, 2016→Second Amendment question regarding the French Revolution: some ramblings
::Well, to answer your first question, the Second Amendment has nothing to do with the French Revolution example. The Second Amendment gives citizens the right to possess a gun, but it does not legalize murder, and it has nothing to do with mob rule or even the death penalty. Show trials and mob rule and terrible, but gun control plays no factor in it. Under mob rule, there is no rule of law. Does this help for the first question? --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 21:03, 27 November 2016 (EST)

:::Lacking the time to go watch a video just now, I'll just post my response to the first part also. 1990'sguy is as far as I know, entirely correct. The second amendment provides citizens with the right to have and bear arms. It does not speak to how they are to be used, so other laws apply. Murder is clearly illegal, but self defense is legal, well, in most states. Separate laws apply to execution, also. Without any other laws, I suppose public execution by shotgun could be considered legal, (although if looking at founding documents, that would be denying the right of life) but those laws very tightly restrict capitol punishment. Besides, the culture wouldn't allow public execution. During the French revolution it was applauded only because the peasants had so much hate for the leaders. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup><small>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</small></sup> 21:30, 27 November 2016 (EST)
