I need to remember to talk to my daughter about that episode. I happened to be in the room, and she (and mom) were ranting at the TV that the purpose of the 2nd Amendment is to be able to overthrow your own government.
BUT - I also wanted to point out that the “reasonable” views that felons and mentally-ill people should be prohibited from having guns is NOT in the Constitution.
If “felons” and mentally ill people are so dangerous that they can’t own guns, why are they out on the street at all!!!???
Nope.
That's not quite what they had in mind.
