You know what it was like to be disarmed by your government? When was the last time the United States confiscated the citizens' weapons? I must be rusty on my American History.

"shall not be infringed" does not cut it anymore because this is not 1776 and we are not defending ourselves form mobs of pissed off indians. This is 2015 and times/weaponry is different.

Wounded knee.
now these tend to be partisan weapons,or weapons designed for single use to get a better real gun like from whacking an enemy solider or police officer to get their piece and thus enhance their arsenal. and often it does not stop at guns as old Che was a fan of the improvised mortar that launched Molotov cocktails over 100 meters
Shotguns A homemade shotgun or tumbera (Argentina), bakakuk[14] (Malaysia), or sumpak[15] (Philippines) is a firearm made of improvised materials like nails, steel pipes, wooden pieces, bits of string, etc. It can be made by "low-budget" criminals and is sometimes found in jails.
Your hyperbole is fascinating. You should write a book. "Something Kampf" springs to mind. you know, since you're trying to equate me with the Nazi's.

Provide the US with concrete, black and white, proven statements on mental illness and then we can talk.
The next step would be to create a database of those that are mentally ill, so you know...the Govt can track them and not allow them to exercise their Right.
And then, what we need to do is to identify them out in society, because they might have gotten a firearm outside of the already established lawful means and WE need to know who they are because they might have a firearm. I say an armband would work. That seems to be a great idea in identifying those that you deem as "not fit" to own firearms.
But, we can't really stop there, because what if a mentally ill person doesn't seek treatment. How are we supposed to identify those people, without a doctors, or multiple doctors diagnoses?
I know, we can solve this with a 2 prong approach. EVERYONE has to see a doctor for a mental evaluation ever year. And those that refuse, we setup a hotline that others can call into to let the Govt know.
Shall I continue on this fantastic fantasy of yours in making the world a safer place for you?

Wounded knee.
Also, the Native Americans at Wounded Knee weren't U.S. Citizens. It wasn't until 1924 that Native Americans were granted U.S. citizenship.

It's actually quite easy to create something out of what you have around the house that can be used to fire rounds.
Do you make the rounds that easy from "what you have around the house", too?
