I have always thought we should have tighter gun control, but never have I thought we should outright abolish the second amendment.
Do I think that some people live in a perpetual state of conspiracy theory and paranoia? Yes.
But do some people have very real reasons to fear for their personal safety and their lives? Also yes.

We live in a time when we like to imagine how progressive (understanding and accepting) we have become in our ways regarding racism and bigotry.. but I assure you., as a whole society, we have not.
There are proponents of fear and rage who like to instigate unlawful acts. There are real victims.
Maybe now is not the time to call for an end to the second amendment.

But unfortunately, when you let anyone have a firearm who wants one, they end up in the hands of people who should not be trusted to operate a pickle fork safely, much less a tool designed for killing other humans.
@ChippySuave
I haven't heard anyone call for this. Only the removal of automatic weapons and high capacity magazine
