This what I feel like doing to people when I hear them cite the Second Amendment for their right to own assault weapons and extended magazines. Luckily for these people, I'm a liberal pansy and would never resort to violence.
My anger is pretty simple, how do you turn:
"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."
In to:
"The Founding Fathers wanted me to have the biggest, craziest guns possible so that I can overthrow the evil socialist government."
Call me crazy, but I don't think this is what the Founders had in mind when drafting the Second Amendment.
I'd like to add that even if every redneck from the South had a gun like this they still wouldn't stand a chance against our military.
If my argument doesn't convince you, maybe the Supreme Court can. In 2008, the Supreme Court ruled in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller Here that it is not constitutional to ban handguns. However, the conservative justice Anthony Scalia, made it clear that it was still acceptable to require background checks (you know to make sure criminals and crazy people can't buy guns) for gun purchases and also legal to outlaw assault weapons and extended magazines.
So next time you hear some moron invoke the Second Amendment when you debate them about gun control, feel free to bitch slap them with some knowledge. FINISH HIM!
