Uh huh and what about delusional people making weapons in their houses? I've been following this arms BS for the whole thing. The gun crowd says it's mental health issues. But by your definition you can't touch the sick. IT'S YOUR RIGHT. Can't have it both ways man.
How many delusional people have been making weapons in their houses?
Names?

OK, so do what then? Nothing? And if you just happen to be killed, "Tough luck, dude"?

The second is probably the safest part of the Constitution because of recent Court rulings. Its basically untouchable now without the Court reversing a decision.
When a law abiding citizen can not arm himself legally, yet a criminal can and will illegally, we the law abiding citizens loose both security and liberty.

Well I will say it: YOUR DEAD DO NOT TRUMP MY RIGHTS. I REFUSE TO ALLOW ANYONE TO ATTEMPT TO INFRINGE UPON MY RIGHTS TO FREEDOM AND LIBERTY BECAUSE OF THE ACTIONS OF A MANIAC.
You talk of mass murderers, implying by your tone and frequency of mention that they happen on every street corner. You mean mass murderers like stalin, pol pot, mao, hitler? over 160 million people DEAD. And they were ALL first disarmed.
Perhaps you mean mass shootings, the type that are so rare that you are more likely to be killed in this country by a BEE STING or a LIGHTNING BOLT. THAT is the unarguable math of it. No "spin", whatever you are implying by that, but the simple fact.
The Second Amendment has absolutely NOTHING to do with hunting, sporting purpose, target shooting, duck hunting, or any of the other garbage smokescreens put up by traitorous politicians with an agenda for incremental total government control.
The Second Amendment has EVERYTHING to do with matching, boots on ground to boots on ground, infantry power people verses government.

Just because the House or Senate is controlled by the "Dims" does not necessarily mean the 2nd Amendment will be abolished or amended. It takes a two-thirds majority to even propose it. THEN it takes two thirds of the states (38) to approve it.

They don't have the right to deny people basic self defense against rogue armies or rogue civilians.
Getting statistics can be difficult, but in 2000, the World Health Organisation reported that in the USA, there were only 54 deaths attributable to bee stings – from a population of 281 million (Census data).

Whoa, we got the "spin cycle" here. Every time this comes up the gun advocates say, "It's the mentally unstable, not the guns or responsible gun owners." Now we say, "OK, let's look at that closer." Gun advocates say, "Hey, that's an infringement on my rights." If so your whole gun argument goes out the window. Then it's, "I want my guns and I don't care about anything else."
Spin that.
