Because it is not about guns. The question is "why shouldn't we regulate items that can cause grevious harm when used by deranged people?"

And the answer is that we have chosen to err on the side of individual decision making and accountability. If you want to understand the 2nd amendment, start from there.

I think it says something about a well regulated militia.
I choose to ignore that part

why should private citizens have the right to anything oP?

because we live in a constitutional republic, and if we didn't have that it would be a dictatorship

real benevolent fascism can sometimes not be a dictatorship even with an aristocratic government

yes, that was what Italy wanted to build. What does that have to do with anything I said?

handguns are the actual problem and i don't see why anyone should have one unless they qualify for very specific circumstances

like if they posted in this thread and want to kill themselves

Handguns are easy to get. Most people with depression kill themselves with hand guns. Almost all of those people have mental problems.

Reagan closed all of the mental hospitals
So...

Until we get laws to sort out regular health care, mental health care, decent standard of education, poverty eradication, reasonable gun control and all the rest I'm actually OK with regular folks having guns because I'd at least like to know if a bunch of free and crazy people have guns I can have one too.

and if poo poo goes south, you can shoot one
