The "want to be" gun confiscators would have a daunting job ahead of them

[montana]

As a "check and balance" on government, the RKBA is quite ineffective. The people have owned guns ever since the nation's founding, but that has neither prevented the enactment and enforcement of unconstitutional laws, nor caused their repeal.

No, the Second Amendment is not one of the checks and balances that is intended to keep government under control. It's more of a "Custer's Last Stand" option to try to deal with a government that has already run amuck. If it reaches that point, all of the system checks and balances have failed.

For real??? Just the unique mentality of the American citizen having the right to own and carry firearms, "compared to the other poor slops of the world" has given us a national conscience unique only to the American citizen, "which is the envy of freedom loving people all over the world", yet you think the 2nd Amendment is ineffective?? Just the concept of the citizenry having the right to own and carry firearms sends the elitist, leftist, tyrannical, control freaks of the world into a psychological melt down, yet you think the Second Amendment is ineffective??? I repeat myself, but every democide occurring in the last century began with the confiscation of private firearm ownership, yet you think the 2nd Amendment is ineffective??? With freedom comes the responsibility and consequence of such freedom, yet you deride such freedom and consequence as ineffective, "which by the way is the very corner stone of the leftist gun grabbers of this country. We will have to definitely agree to disagree on this one Stan.https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_conti...LkVvwbiD7o
