The second amendment was written in 1865. An 1865 there were no semi-automatic assault rifles. I would like to take a look at what types of guns were available to the general public in those days. Firstly I'd like to take a look at the Allen & wheelock breach a civil war gun with the capabilities of only firing 3 rounds per minute. Secondly the firearm I would like to mention is the 44 Calibre Colt revolver a Army issue gun only capable of holding 6 rounds and it's chamber.
Now I would like to fast forward to 2017 and taken look at the AR-15available to the American citizens today. The AR -15, rifle capabilities of firing up to 180 rounds rounds per minute, with magazine changes every 30 rounds.
The second amendment was written in 1865 it is now 2017. Times have changed and so have the capabilities of the guns that we use. Is it not time to change the amendment?
