Really, you guys make it sound that if a full blown civil war pops up it would be difficult to get guns without the Second Amendment.

If shit hits the fan, you can find guns. They'll find their way to the people in the end.

But having guns so freely available in peace time promotes nothing but violence.


switzerland? Did you bother to look up if what you said is factual or are you going by feelings?


Maybe I should be clear on what I meant by freely available.

Switzerland has lots of guns, but nearly every male over 18 was conscripted into the army and has had gun safety training. In addition, the sale of guns and issuing of gun permits in Switzerland is much more highly regulated.

 

And there's also really no comparison between the amount of guns in the US and any other country in the world. The rate of guns is so over the top that it really is an exceptional situation.
