I agree, but did it never occur to you that 2nd amandment is one of the top reasons why USA has the biggest prison population in the world?


No, it never occurred to me that it was a top reason.... Because its not.

Our prison population is as high as it is due to drug laws in the US. We made drug possession a jailable offense in the 1970's, and it caused huge increases in the prison population.

 

I believe the data will speak for itself. At any rate, if you want to discuss firearms, start a new thread. This is for WW2, not about constitutional amendments

Hey i was just curious. If WW2 wasn't all about new weaponry, i dunno what is :)

Also tha graph doesn't really confirm that drug laws are the major reason  for prison population. it only shows the huge jump somewhere in middle 80's
