Are you a resident of the United States?
I ask because of this:
"An exploration of the Second Amendment"
What are you hoping to gain, through an exploration of the Second Amendment, if you're not a resident of the U.S?
I'm a resident, and my exploration of the Second Amendment, has educated me on its failure, as it's currently written.
It's fair to the gun owners, the extremist gun owners, the NRA, and the weapons manufacturing companies.
But it's unfair to the rest of the public, who doesn't own a gun?

"What the data says about gun deaths in the U.S.
The recent mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio – along with a spate of shootings in Chicago – have brought renewed attention to deadly gun violence in the United States. As President Donald Trump and lawmakers on Capitol Hill contemplate policy responses, here are 10 common questions about gun deaths in the U.S., with answers based on data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the FBI and other sources. You can also explore key public opinion findings about gun violence and gun policy in the U.S. by reading our recent roundup. "
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_ownership
"Gun ownership is the act of owning a gun. In 2018, Small Arms Survey reported that there are over one billion small arms distributed globally, of which 857 million (about 85 percent) are in civilian hands.[1][2]The Small Arms Survey stated that U.S. civilians alone account for 393 million (about 46 percent) of the worldwide total of civilian held firearms.[2] This amounts to "120.5 firearms for every 100 residents."[2]
"The world's armed forces control about 133 million (about 13 percent) of the global total of small arms, of which over 43 percent belong to two countries: the Russian Federation (30.3 million) and China (27.5 million).[1] Law enforcement agencies control about 23 million (about 2 percent) of the global total of small arms.[1] "

You don't have an argument.
You're apparently going out of your way to reinforce your individual whole truth rhetoric.
Just as you have done, for how many other forums now?
There is an argument as you are going out of your way to hide the principles that you disagree on.
1 The equality on use of civil responsibility on lethal force.
2. Someone who does not own a gun is not responsible for allowing someone to die by that negligence. Fear motivates within them.
3. Preservation of basic principle.
4. Union between basic principle and legal precedent.
Allowing someone to die by not taking the burden of lethal force as a weight to bear is not Pro-Life.
Blaming the 2nd Amendment, America, Constitution, and United State for illegal law and faulty legislation is not Pro-law.
There are far more threatening changes which have taken place in the principle of family then gun violence to use restriction of liberty as an excuse to make a claim of Pro-Family. Are you clear on what a family is when addressing it in constitutional detail?
American constitution should not be held out of context to make the practice of illegal complex legislation of law easier. The only whole truth is to be made on basic principle. People like “Vaulk” do not understand as long as confusing principles of laws made out of context to simpler principles. The forum is dissecting grievances filed as public arguments and dissect them looking at depth of ideology in the 2nd Amendment.

Those who murdered other's with their lawfully owned, and unlawfully owned guns, deserve the Death Penalty.
Because they took lives, in the shadow, of how the Second Amendment, is currently written.
There are more guns, than citizens in the United States.
There are extremists gun owners, who have enough guns to arm half a platoon, of citizens.
Look at how many guns, that the Vegas shooter, took into his hotel room?
And then he killed how many citizens, with his lawfully owned guns?
The Second Amendment needs to be changed, to rectify the Vegas shooters actions, as well as the El Paso shooter actions, and the Columbine shooters.
In the military, soldiers get their assigned weapons, from out of an arms room, and then after their training is over, they return their weapons, to their arms rooms.
That's the difference, between the military, and the random citizen, with a lawfully owned gun, and an unlawfully owned gun.
The militaries weapons are accounted for.
While the rest of the other 400 million plus guns aren't accounted for.

(TKDB)I just provided three different reference sources(John-C) that has just proven it is lethal force not guns that are the basic principle in united state for debate. The Second Amendment needs to be changed, to rectify the Vegas shooters actions, as well as the El Paso shooter actions, and the Columbine shooters. there are more guns than people in the United States , (a)
Murder is the unlawful killing of a human being with malice aforethought. Not holding an equal portion of lethal force is also malice.
In the military, soldiers get their assigned weapons, from out of an arms room, and then after their training is over, they return their weapons, to their arms rooms.
Hand-to-hand combat (sometimes abbreviated as HTH or H2H) is a physical confrontation between two or more persons at very short range. Not all arms are kept in the armory.
Because they took lives, in the shadow, of how the Second Amendment, is currently written. The suspect, or convicted uses, or our accused of using lethal force as their own form of punishment without American United State Constitutional separation. Capital punishment is not the threat of a Death Penalty and hosts its own debate as a forum topic.

Are you being serious, with your shared, bulletblocker webpage?
So, should those parents, who maybe, don't own guns, and those parents who lawfully own guns, should maybe, buy those backpacks for their kids?
Because the laws making gun violence crimes, have failed the citizens, of the United States, because criminals, and offenders with their illegal guns, have killed innocent people?
Because there are more guns, than there are citizens in the United States, 400 million guns, to 329 million citizens?
Because, the Second Amendment, as it's currently written, is failing US citizens, in the 21st century?
And because, the Death Penalty, is failing, as an individual law, and isn't deterring some from killing innocent people, with their lawfully owned guns, and their unlawfully owned guns?

A veteran, with a gun, isn't the proper answer.
But, it could be viewed, as a self serving answer, if they are an individual pro gun extremist?
The proper answer?
An amended Second Amendment, updated with the Death Penalty language.
The Second Amendment, as its currently written, is a failure, that benefits, the NRA, the weapons manufacturers in the United States, or abroad, and some of the pro gun extremists.

Also, since we depend entirely upon the police (Professionals who enforce the law through the use or threat of violence with a firearm) for our protection, then why wouldn't we increase the number of professionals with firearms that are readily available to protect us through the use of force with a firearm? It sounds funny but you can't throw laws at a gunman to stop them from committing violence against an innocent civilian, you can't cite criminal or penal code to someone taking hostages to convince them to stop. Laws don't serve as a stopping force and in almost all cases involving criminality...they don't prevent anything either. Laws are designed to keep honest people honest.
TKDB said: The Constitution isn't punitive in nature, there are no criminal penalties in the constitution and never have been. The constitution of the United States is not and has never been designed to punish anyone save for serving as proof that rights may have been violated in certain cases and that punishment is deserved based on the violation of those rights.
TKDB said: Firstly, we all willingly give a portion of our income and business profits to the Government and that portion is specifically designed to fund the Government's efforts to control crime and to maintain law and order within the United States. Since 1966 the Government has spent increasing amounts of our taxpayer dollars (The money that's supposed to be used to solve law and order issues) to address this issue. Your own admission is that the gun violence epidemic has been plaguing the U.S. since 1966...do you realize how many laws have been introduced since 1966 to control gun violence? If this "Plague" still exists today, as you've said it does, then how can you NOT see that the efforts so far have been the wrong efforts? Writing laws hasn't solved this epidemic obviously so how many more decades are we going to scream for more laws until we realize that they're not making an impact?
1966: Gun violence becomes and epidemic that plagues america: MORE LAWS, MORE LAWS!
2019: 53 years later Gun violence is still an epidemic: MORE LAWS, MORE LAWS!

So those lost lives, are relevant to me.

So here's the gun ownership truth?
"The right question is "how many thousands of lives were saved by people who were able to defend themselves"."
I don't need to contemplate anything to any pro gun extremist?
When innocent people get killed by gun, that's not fair, or rqual to the victims, or their families, is it?
"This is the other question he needs to contemplate on if he wants to be fair and equal. However, I can't see him doing this any time soon."
The Gun control conversation both in the United States, and the United Kingdom, shows how many place, their guns on a pedestal, above the rest of the public?
The pro gun extremists?
The criminals, and offenders, with their illegal guns?
Maybe even the NRA?
The Far Right gun supporters?
And maybe even the gun manufacturers themselves?
And apparently there's no such thing as a gun owner, being addicted to guns?
The Doctor in that article, doesn't know what she's talking about I guess?

"Face it: We're addicted to guns"
Face it: We're addicted to guns
"Thoughts and prayers won't curb lethal addiction
ANALYSIS/OPINION:
President Trump generally responds to mass shootings by talking about mental illness. As a psychologist, I note that he gets it almost right. He just fails to correctly identify the patient.
The patient is America, and the illness is addiction. Our nation is addicted to guns, with increasingly deadly consequences.
Wherever you find addiction, there you find denial. The alcoholic who says, “I can quit any time I want,” and the gambling addict who says, “If I hit it this time, everything will work out,” are in the same boat as those who say, “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” They are all addicts in denial, refusing to see the overwhelming evidence of the damage caused by their behavior."
"The neuroscience of addiction is the same regardless of the addictive behavior or substance. The brain doesn’t care if it’s porn addiction, shopping addiction, cigarette addiction, video game addiction or whatever you like, including gun addiction.
Here’s how it works: Dopamine is the brain’s neurotransmitter that is released when you expect a reward – when you expect pleasure. The brain is flooded with dopamine when a shooter gets ready to fire a gun. Firing a gun releases endorphins – the pleasure hormones – the same ones we experience with sex, with taking certain substances, and with other enjoyable activities. Pleasure (BANG! and endorphins) follows anticipation so quickly and reliably, that the brain easily learns to connect the psychological loop: guns – dopamine – pleasure/endorphins. The psychological loop is compelling, and some brains become preoccupied with seeking more dopamine. More guns. "
"The desire for more is another defining characteristic of addiction. The addict develops tolerance and requires more to get the same rush. Americans own more guns in absolute and relative terms than any other nation. We own about half the world’s guns although we are barely 5 percent of the world’s population. "
"And some of us own a great many guns, indeed. Stephen Paddock, the Las Vegas concert murderer who committed the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, was found to have an arsenal of 47 deadly weapons. That put him in the 3 percent of gun owners who own large numbers of guns. This is exactly what addiction theory predicts - some users will seek more guns, bigger guns, with more firepower, in order to achieve the feelings they seek.
When President Trump visited the hospital where some of the victims of the latest school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, were being treated, he verbally paid his respects to the doctors. A more meaningful show of respect from the president would be heeding the doctors’ words about gun policy.
Organizations representing nearly half a million physicians and medical students, including family physicians, pediatricians and psychiatrists, called on the president and Congress to do the following: "
"• Call gun violence what it is, a national public health epidemic.
• Fund appropriate research at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as part of the FY 2018 Omnibus spending package.
• Establish constitutionally appropriate restrictions on the manufacturing and sale, for civilian use, of large-capacity magazines and firearms with features designed to increase their rapid and extended killing capacity.
We need real leaders to take action. Thoughts and prayers alone won’t cure the country’s lethal addiction. "
So who knows better?
The two of you, or an actual Doctor?

If you're going to quote me then quote what I actually said you dishonest piece of sh*t.
Also the fallacy you committed was calling someone a gun extremist because they asked you to be fair to all good people.
Any way, when you do this your just making yourself look bad and foolish. Most of us here are actual adults and can see you for what you really are.
This also now where I say good-bye to you. My time is too valuable to waste it on someone as unreasonable and badly motivated as you.

"The NRA told doctors to 'stay in their lane' when it comes to gun deaths — and doctors are posting furious, devastating responses"
The National Rifle Association, the most powerful gun lobby in the country, is under fire from doctors for a Tweet that many are calling insensitive and ill-reasoned.
On Wednesday, just hours before a gunmanstormed into a bar in California and killed 12 people, the NRA went after the American College of Physicians on Twitter for writing about policies that could reduce the number of deaths and injuries from firearms. "
From the NRA via Twitter:
"Someone should tell self-important anti-gun doctors to stay in their lane. Half of the articles in Annals of Internal Medicine are pushing for gun control. Most upsetting, however, the medical community seems to have consulted NO ONE but themselves. https://www.nraila.org/articles/20181102/surprise-physician-group-rehashes-same-tired-gun-control-policies …
NRA-ILA | Surprise: Physician Group Rehashes Same Tired Gun Control Policies
Everyone has hobbies. Some doctors’ collective hobby is opining on firearms policy. Half of th
"The tweet came shortly ahead of the US' 307th mass shooting of the year, and a day before the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionrevealed that gun deaths are on the rise across the country, at rates not seen in a decade.
The paper in question wrestled with how to reduce gun injuries in the US and called for a "multifaceted and comprehensive approach to reducing firearm violence that is consistent with the Second Amendment."
Read More: The US spends less on gun violence research than nearly every other leading cause of death in America — and that's on purpose.
Doctor Cedric Dark was one of the first to point out the timing of the NRA's comments. "This tweet didn't even make it 12 hours before another mass shooting," he wrote."

Because, the Second Amendment, as it's currently written, is failing US citizens, in the 21st century? Your failing to obey law does not mean the 2nd Amendment is failing. Though not the learned direction of the 2nd Amendment the addition to American United State Constitution still can be used to preserve the principle of constitution itself. The basic principle in our debate is over lethal force and simple is not part of the 2nd Amendment. It is a new change to be made with address to united state, basic principle, and Constitution. To create a more perfect union of American United State Constitution.
A Bullet blocking backpack is a common defense to a general welfare and is an arm. Had the similar basic principle been followed that was previously set by Fire prevention with the use of sprinklers, fire extinguishers, and ax as arm a ballistic shield would have been purchased to provide access to independent protection as a minimal standard.
A person is no longer forced to maintain the dangers of any responsibility in dispensing lethal force by military draft. It is voluntary to ensure liberty as there is a constant failure to explain that freedom must have no assigned cost plus no self-value at the same time, this equals free in any education of the 1st Amendment. What is freedom, freedom is the combination of no assigned cost plus no self-value the object is free. It is not an interpretation as claimed.
Addressing Death Penalty is pointless here as there has been a forum dedicated that ideology is in whole truth Capital Punishment not Death Penalty. This is not a politically correct term it is a term used to preserve constitution.

@ZeusAres42
Curse at me some more.
Guns have killed people, and you want to call me names?
@ZeusAres42
Good, and I think that the pro gun extremists, are making themselves weak, because they have an addiction to guns.
The ugly honesty about some of man, and his gun addiction?
Lawful gun owners, have killed innocent people, and that's a truth, that you can't curse at with your name calling, can you?
Unlawful gun owners, have murdered innocent people, and that's another truth, that you can't curse at with your name calling, can you?
What are your thoughts on the NRA article, do you want to curse them out as well?
@ZeusAres42
Here's the article:

"The NRA told doctors to 'stay in their lane' when it comes to gun deaths — and doctors are posting furious, devastating responses"
@ZeusAres42
Who did I call, a pro gun extremist?
"Also the fallacy you committed was calling someone a gun extremist because they asked you to be fair to all good people."
There is no fairness, when innocent people are murdered with guns, is there?
The ultimate fairness, would be ZERO, innocent people, being murdered by a lawful, or an unlawful gun owner, right?
The Far Right Pro Gun supporters, are the ones making themselves look foolish.
The NRA, is making itself look foolish.
The lawful gun owners, and the illegal gun owners, who have killed innocent people, are making the Second Amendment look foolish.
Along with making the Death Penalty, look foolish.
"Any way, when you do this your just making yourself look bad and foolish. Most of us here are actual adults and can see you for what you really are.
This also now where I say good-bye to you. My time is too valuable to waste it on someone as unreasonable and badly motivated as you."
@ZeusAres42
I'm not unreasonable, the NRA is unreasonable.
The Far Right Pro Gun supporters, are unreasonable.
And the lawful, and the unlawful gun owners, who have killed people, were unreasonable.
Because, none of the above, can downtalk, innocent people, being killed by guns, can they?
And because, those innocent people, their valuable time, and lives were taken away from them?
So, it, wasn't fair, for those innocent people, to be killed by guns, was it?
So, you can say goodbye, while I'm fighting for those lost lives, taken by gun violence.

I asked what your premise is for the conclusion that a Veteran with a gun isn't the proper answer. I understand that you're fed up with innocent people dying to dun violence in the U.S. and I'm sympathetic to that idea but it doesn't serve as proof positive that an answer is or isn't correct in regards to solving an issue.
I also don't quite understand what you're saying you won't be talked away from. The reality that you're fed up with innocent people dying to gun violence? I don't think anyone here is trying to talk you away from it.
In regards to your claim that Veteran's and their guns haven't made much of a difference, I'd say that arming Veterans and placing them strategically at schools and other areas that are vulnerable to active shooter situations hasn't been tried yet. The federal Government has dropped hundreds of millions of dollars into gun control lobbying, reform and awareness but hasn't tried much of anything else. Pushing more laws hasn't solved the issue in over 50 years...maybe we should try something else?
No I'm not a Sam Harris supporter, never heard of him and from what you've stated about it, if it's all true, then he's not someone I'd subscribe to listening to. Not sure how this is relevant to our argument but there's your answer.
So maybe you can answer mine, just one question, ignore my entire post and just respond here: If gun laws have been in the making since before 1966 and if your assessment is true...that the epidemic of gun violence has been in existence since 1966 and is still alive and well today in the form of a plague...then why should we continue (After over 50 years of trying the same thing) to put our efforts into something that hasn't worked?

Oh Look, you found a website, that's as weak, as the Second Amendment, is, as it's it currently written.
"Doctors for Responsible Gun Ownership."
I'm pro family life, when it comes to the failure of the Second Amendment, because it's too weak, as it's currently written.
Because as it's currently written, it favors the guns, both legal, and illegal, because the Second Amendment, lacks any responsible language, for the entire accountability of the guns in the United States, all 400 plus million of them.
Is it fair, to the U.S. public as a whole to have both legal, and illegal guns, on the streets, as we speak?
Is it fair for humans to be shot, and killed by those cowards who used both lawful, and illegal guns?
What other, (Pro Gun Websites,) might the pro gun supporters, both of the United States, and the United Kingdom, search the internet for, as more pro gun fodder, to benefit their gun arguments?
Is it vulgar to be pro human being, in the light of the gun violence crimes, that happens every day?
Please, educate the Global public more, with the preferred pro gun rhetoric, at the very feet or the words:
(((Mass Shootings, Murder/ Suicide, Domestic Violence, and Abuse, Drive By Shootings, at the very feet of the sickening lack of total Gun accountability in the United States?)))
Go ahead, pro gun supporters, and label the above paragraph as being too sentimental, or too emotional?
Is it fair to every citizen in the United States, to live with that kind of non existent accountability, with 400 million guns in the U.S., and no one knows, how many of those guns are illegal verses legal?
I already Googled that very question, and no answer, to that question exists.

I've made several responses to your post and answered the questions you've made so far and I've asked you to answer just one of my questions. Since it hasn't been addressed I'll ask just one more time:
If gun laws have been in the making since before 1966 and if your assessment is true...that the epidemic of gun violence has been in existence since 1966 and is still alive and well today in the form of a plague...then why should we continue (After over 50 years of trying the same thing) to put our efforts into something that hasn't worked?
