The largest mass shooting of civilians in US history occurred on December 29, 1890 near Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota, and it was the US government doing the shooting.

"US needs to consider Second Amendment's place in 'modern world'"

Of course we need to consider it, Condi...lest we take it for granted. The belief that we must always move with the times is not necessarily in our best interest or good for the country. Back in the '80s, people who were going through a couple of grams of cocaine every week were "with the times". It was everywhere. How'd that work out for the American people?

The only consideration that I’ll entertain regarding the place of the Second Amendment is whether or not it should be switched with the First Amendment. Otherwise, it’s fine right where it is.

Actually if the 2nd amendment was fully allowed a private civilian would be able to buy any weapon they could afford.

The 2nd amendment has nothing to do with hunting or target shooting it has to do with having a well armed citizens to be able to come to the aid of their nation in the time of war or to overthrow their government if it gets out of control.

Of course the puppet master of the left know this which is why they are trying to disarm the people.

When we hear something like this, the appropriate response is to stick our fingers in their chests and say “The purpose of the Second Amendment is to protect people like me from people like you.”

The worst piano player in the world strikes again. And people on the conservative side once made an argument she’d make a great President.

Let’s face the goal of the anti 2nd gang is to insure that only the government possess firearms to control the populace.

“Funny how no one says that about the First Amendment”

Without the Second, the First will be gone in six moths.

Rice said weapons like the AR-15...shouldn’t be available to civilian>>>>>>>>>

AR-15s are not available to civilians.

legal civilian semi automatic versions of the AR-15, called CAR-15s are available to civilians and off duty military people.The AR-15 has 3 select fire options: single shot, 3 round burst, or fully automatic ( machine gun). The CAR-15 is a semi- automatic: One shot with 1 trigger pull.It is NOT a military weapon.

Now why is Condoliza Rice lying about the facts?

Propaganda is coming form Rice?

The Disarming of America will never happen. This is not about guns, its about protection. The fact that Rice and the left are making this about “guns” assures one outcome: THERE WILL BE NO PROTECTION.

People like Rice need to give up their vaunted ideology, cast their eyes to history, and let America arrange for the protection of the young,old, sick, infirm and unborn. America is good at that and has been since 1770.

If not, Rice will go into the Trash Bin of history, where she belongs.Why? Bullets are not politically correct, neither is death. So the time is coming when every American has to decide what side they are on: Life or Death.

Rice has chosen Death.

President Trump and the NRA choose Life.And so do I.And so will America.

...have a conversation about what the right to bear arms means in the modern world

The only thing that's changed about the modern world is technology. The heart of man is still bent toward evil.

Understood. Soviets used to lock up political dissidents in the loony bin, so I’m not liking all the mental illness talk either.
