The 2nd Amendment should be repealed

Yes, Right 2 is confusingly worded, but, much more importantly, we Americans simply don’t need it and shouldn’t have it.
We have many much more relevant and important rights than the crazily outdated right to form militias, or, if you will, to pistol pack: Freedom to eat French fries. Freedom from slavery. Freedom of speech. Freedom to cry like a baby. Freedom to live life largely as we want. Freedom to protest against the government. Freedom to call the president a pig fucker. Freedom to be a complete asshole. Separation of church and state. Freedom of religion. Freedom from religion. Freedom to be out. Fair housing. Freedom to fair elections. Freedom to vote, or not. Freedom to have our vote even matter sometimes. Freedom to call a lawyer or somebody. The right to a fair trial. Freedom to be represented by a very expensive shark, a lowly zero-cost public defender or any lawyer in between that we can almost afford. Freedom to confront our accusers. Freedom not to incriminate ourselves. Freedom to sue the pants off those who have negligently hurt us. Freedom to go on worker’s comp, unemployment, Food Stamps, welfare, Medicare. Freedom to approve of universal, socialized, government-run health care. Freedom to buy way more than we can afford on credit at 13.9 APR. Freedom to accumulate wealth greedily way beyond any family or personal need. Freedom to give absolutely nothing to charity. Freedom to be a wingnut on either side of the aisle. Freedom to rant. Freedom to think. Freedom to drink. Freedom to wear pink. Freedom to stink (within reason).
