We don't need the 2nd Amendment — we need a real debate about guns. Do you agree with this statement? Summarize the article, identify its main elements and share your ideas in four or more sentences

people think we should lift the 2nd amendment because the people with guns that have rights to hold guns are hurting their privileged to have a gun so i say we should cancel the 2nd amendment

i think the 2nd amendment should be kept for induvidual protections despite the abuse people use with guns it still should be kept because this discussion isnt brought up when the police abuse their guns and shoot minorities

The Constitution needs to be more strict with the 2nd Amendment. For instance, they have to state that there will be severe consequences if the gun is not used for appropriate reasons such as for safety. The 2nd Amendment states that the Americans have the right to own a gun. When an American knows that they have that right, they will take advantage of it. Take the mass shooting in Las Vegas as an example. Nobody would wake up on a Sunday morning and say "I feel like shooting a bunch of innocent individuals today." The shooter felt like he had that power since he is an American. A person might use a gun for safety reasons. An example of that is that there can be an intruder trying to rob a house, but the only person in there is a feeble woman. her only weapon to use to stop the intruder is the gun because her phone is not functioning very well. Therefore, there has to be a real debate about using the guns appropriately.

I think that the 2nd Amendment should be use more careful now a days because people now just buy to use for the wrong rights which leads up to a lot of problems.Also the 2nd Amendment states that the Americans have the right to own a gun and then people will take over this right and just buy guns for the wrong cost.For ex in Los Vegas the shooting of 500+ people shot or killed shows thta the second 2nd Amendment is not being use for the right the thing and that this Amendment should be more careful to who the guns are been sold to.
