I had an interesting interaction with an old acquaintance

[PA_jen]

This person I have known for years and is a "Second Amendment is the most important thing in our country because it keeps me from losing my freedom"

So I asked this person 1 question and I hope people who want to pose it on social media please feel free if you would like too. I asked this person "Why does your Second Amendment Right Usurp everyone else's "God given" right to breathe?" To be fair I don't know if it was the actual question that gave the person pause to speak or if I confused him with the use of usurp?

1. "Right to breathe"?

Maybe he thought you were trying to connect guns to clean air?

2. Civil rights are always in conflict as to which has primacy for any given issue

SCOTUS is supposed to sort it out.

3. The nation needs to think about amending the amendment...

or just getting rid of it. Funny how the nations that don't have a such a Constitutional provision don't have hundreds of mass killings a year either.

4. I would simply tell someone like that that it's interesting he

is perfectly okay with his child or grandchild or spouse or sibling being murdered by a gun. And then asks if he thinks they'd be okay with being murdered.
