Summary
The Second Amendment and gun control are problems that affect many aspects of our lives: They are political, economic, criminal, social, and juridical, but also ethical. The purpose of this book is to look at how, starting with the Second Amendment, the United States developed a firearms culture unlike any other country on the planet. In this book, I will show how gun control is the greatest contradiction in American society. In an era when citizens' rights were not taken for granted, the Bill of Rights was enacted to limit the power of the Central Government to prevent tyranny. Today, these amendments seem obsolete and do not fit in today's world. Reality changes quickly, and laws should keep up with societal changes. However, in modern, fast-paced, innovative America, politics, the economy, and society are still regulated by laws from the distant past.
The Second Amendment gives the right to bear arms if the person is part of a militia that acts in defense of the state. The United States has the world's most powerful and well-equipped army. According to official government data, its budget exceeds 600 billion dollars, with 1.5 million active personnel. It's natural to wonder why the American people need to join a small militia when there's a massive army ready to fight for their country.
Americans share beliefs that make life truly valuable and live as though it will never end. These people accept gun violence and deaths in video games and TV shows and their everyday lives. So, in reality, people enjoy and attempt to preserve life like in America. Still, they do not respect gun violence enough to abolish it entirely. However, it is one of their country's first obstacles to a long and healthy life.
