An Election Just Happened but I am Thinking about Guns Instead and So Should You

My sister, who is doing a research/argumentative paper against gun control found this and I thought it was funny enough to share.

My favorites are:

These phrases," right of the people peaceably to assemble," "right of the people to be secure in their homes," "enumeration's herein of certain rights shall not be construed to disparage others retained by the people," and "The powers not delegated herein are reserved to the states respectively, and to the people," all refer to individuals, but "the right of the people to keep and bear arms" refers to the state.

Guns are so complex that special training is necessary to use them properly, and so simple to use that they make murder easy.
Ordinary people in the presence of guns turn into slaughtering butchers but revert to normal when the weapon is removed.
Most people can't be trusted, so we should have laws against guns, which most people will abide by because they can be trusted.
The ACLU is good because it uncompromisingly defends certain parts of the Constitution, and the NRA is bad, because it defends other parts of the Constitution.
Private citizens don't need a gun for self-protection because the police are there to protect them even though the Supreme Court says the police are not responsible for their protection.
