Re: the sadness of the situation is....

Fine it's crap by your judgement. Accept that other people don't think like you, and work through the system (aka your elected representatives) to get the system changed. I don't think you are sick or deranged, you have a different opinion than mine. I certainly don't find you mentally ill or somehow other defective. You are injecting emotion into a document that is the Constitution. If the 2nd amendment is against what the people of this counrty want (since it exists to protect the people.) then there should be no problem getting it changed through the means of the Constitution.

Let me be more clear. Regardless of whether it was important at the time and it is not now ( a point we disagree on), it was put in the Constitution as the 2nd Amendment. IT wasn't passed as a federal law that the govt. will leave things alone it was included in the document of the freedom of the press, freedom of speech, freedom of religion etc. It is placed there intentionally, on purpose so that it would be very difficult to remove by the government. Perhaps some people in this country have a different opinion on the freedom of the press or the freedom of religion, etc. they are welcom to their opinions, and if they wish they can organize under the freedom to assemble (provided that Constitutional right still stands.) to voice that opinion and have the Constitution changed. The system isn't broken or sick, you just happen to disagree with one of it's provisions. Perhaps more people would see your point of view if there was more logic to your argument and less emotion.
