Annoying Orange. But I'm a lazy slacktivist and will probably just complain on Reddit if Bernie doesn't get the nomination.

there's already been quite a bit of that to my knowledge

Case in point:The amendment states not "to repel tyranny", not "to keep future national forces under control", not "for the sole purpose of private ownership", but for the penultimate purpose of maintenance of militias for the ultimate purpose of security within states within the federal system.  At this time, the "US Military" was non-existent or not powerful enough to have as much power as the militia.  In this time, a militia was superior since states could better draw support from their local towns.  Now things have changed, and militias are obsolete or a weak justification of insurrection at this stage our nation is at, no matter how pure the ideals may seem.  You can very well drop the "it's to ward off tyranny" argument because you clearly don't know what your dear second amendment says.  Why would the federal government undermine its own power by allowing militias to cause dissension?

Here's a good read on the history of this debate.

A good read indeed, the sentence diagram of the 2nd Amendment is useful as well.

>Why would the federal government undermine its own power by allowing militias to cause dissension?

To quote Mao Zedong, although I'm sure he's not the first to express this sentiment, political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. In other words, all power is derived from the use of, or implied use of force. To grant one specific group (in this case, the government) a monopoly on power has many dangerous precedents. I will avoid jumping to alarmist conclusions, but wouldn't a government acting in the interest in its citizens not be concerned with the personal ownership of firearms?

If you're only in high school in the US only the seniors would be eligible to vote, so if only 1/4 registered that would be the entire student population eligible to vote
