sadly he believes that the 2nd amendment is outdated and can only apply to the 1700s-1800s
I did not realize freedoms could be outdated.

What if an intruder that you shoot turns out to be a drunken relative stumbling about in the dark and you spend the rest of your life in jail on first degree murder charges? What then? Will you still disagree with your dad's views and call him a lunatic while you're lying in your cell at night crying while Big Hank keeps eyeballing you?

Did you read about the Anders guy in Norway a few months back who was able to kill 69 Labour activists on that tiny island just because he was the only one with a rifle?
Just one of them with a gun may have stopped him.
You people are just phased out from reality.

So because of that, everyone should have rifles?

Recently I have a debate with my dad over gun rights. He told me although he profess to be an American and supports free speech and other amendemnts he believes that the second amendment should be removed. I tried to counter it by saying that it could protect him from tyranny and crime but he told me that there is really no need for guns let the cops, soldiers, FBI, DHS,ATF etc have the guns, after all guns should be in the hands of professionals. As for tyranny he laugh off and said tyranny will not happen. Even after a criminal incident my neighborhood he is still not convinced. I am only 16 (Turning 17 Nov) I am a supporter of gun rights and I am concerned about the safety of my family. How can I be safe if some jerk decide to show up.
It has and will again.
tyranny will not happen

The second amendment is the guarantor of all the others. The threat that the govt. must take seriously. ...and make no mistake, the second amendment is just that, a threat to any would be tyrant.
