Yesterday I came across a 'meme' about the second amendment in the US and it sticked with me..

The second amendment (gun BS law) was created with the Musket in mind that could fire ~max 2 rounds per minute.

These days many (US Fanboys ​) don't have Muskets anymore but AR15's for example. This stupid weapon fires 400 rounds per minute ⚠️ What the actually fucking fuck is what I ask..

For hunting deer? "Protecting" yourself? From what? Aliens?

This shit is one of the things keeping me from moving there. Why would I want ppl around me who think guns are okay and cool..

I call it a sickness.

Fuck guns!

@stux the point of the law was for protection against a tyrannous state and so the idea was to keep civilian arms in line with military arms, and it’s a misconception that only muskets existed at that time

There were rifled weapons being made and prototyped and the puckle gun existed which showed that high rates of fire could be achieved

Just like those in the 60s didn’t envision the moon landing technology as the peak of space technology, neither did those in the 18th century see muskets as the final evolution either

It took less than 100 years after the amendment for the Gatling gun to come out

@Arcana Even with other weapons it doesn't make any sense in the current day 😮

Isn't it a bit weird the US is almost the only country acting this way?

@stux @Arcana I went to US some years ago on a business trip. I read the morning paper (jetlag) and stumbled about news that I thought of as satire at first: Texas (I believe it was Tx) called upon their militia to be ready, because … the US army held a manoeuvre of sorts in the state. They in earnest prepared to defend against a coup d’etat from Washington against the Tx government. From their point of view they really need to be prepared all the time to fight

@sternengucker @stux @Arcana

Lol yeah that was funny. Texans are such a meme. The most American Americans.
