And Chicago has some of strictest gun control laws yet had 3,500 people shot last year.
Neither that statistic or your Mexican statistic is pertinent.
The 2nd Amendment was put into place to allow the citizenry the ability to fight against their own oppressive government. If slaves had weapons, they would have certainly fought back. Slavery requires defenseless subjects. Germany gradually enforced who had access to weapons which conveniently left off whom they considered to be enemies of the state. We all know how that turned out..... I say we know that but I'm not sure we do. I read some stupid s.o.b with a national column compare a wall on our southern border to the Berlin Wall. What a moron.....The Berlin Wall was meant to keep people in, not out. Who doesn't know that? Who doesn't get that?
It seems far fetched, almost impossible such a situation could occur here, but today your job, your livelihood could be put at risk by politically incorrect speech. Work for a public company in any senior management position and go ahead, speak your opinion on the dangers of illegal immigrants, same sex marriage, mainstreaming transgender amoung school age kids......see what happens. We are now discussing legislation that allows someone to simply claim you're a risk, a danger to society and with no due process your personal property is taken away by the Motherland. You think it's impossible that won't be abused by the ruling party? Of course it will.
Freedom is hard, its messy, sometimes deadly, always complicated. Don't be so quick to hand it over...
