But surprisingly enough, you can carry concealed in a bank, which was one of your main argument points.Michigan has a whole host of "pistol free areas", including Schools, Hospitals, Casinos and some taverns.
Let me take a minute to educate you on a bit of Michigan firearms laws.
You can carry a gun in pistol free zones, including schools, hospitals and some (all) taverns. You obviously don't live here, so your ignorance of the laws is somewhat forgivable, until you try to use them to help give credence to your poorly thought out argument.
Then you would have a group of people spouting "hey, let's lower that age to 12". After all. nothing in the 2A defines an age, right?
Who, exactly, is advocating this?
As it stands, I have no problem with 12 year olds possessing guns. My 11 year old step son has had a .22 for a few years now. The fact that I bought it for him notwithstanding, it is his to be used, under supervision. I don't know of a single gun owner who does not advocate personal (or parental) responsibility.
Everything comes with limits, you can't drive 120 mph in a 65mph zone. You can't drive with a BAC over .08 in my state.
Sure you can. It's entirely possible for my vehicle to achieve that speed under my control. The fact that it's dangerous and illegal does not prevent the act from occurring. I can also drive drunk if I so choose. Again, dangerous and illegal, and rife with penalties and consequences, but no law will prevent an illegal act from occurring if the perpetrator of the act so choose.
Now I'm not saying "let's add limits to the 2A", but there are currently a list of limits that are legally set in place. Why aren't people complaining about those?
Oh boy, believe me, people are complaining about them.
Why can't I take my loaded gun in my pocket to work?
You can, I sure do. Just understand there are consequences to the act if discovered, as I do. I know I can be fired on the spot. But it's not against the law, it's against company policy and regulation. You apparently do not understand the difference. Most employers restrict guns on company property because it's private property, they can make all the rules they want. You may be terminated for violating them, but you won't go to jail over it.
Why did I have to be 21 to buy my gun?
Because people who came along before you and I felt compelled to "do something".
Why can't I take my gun into my local bank?
You can, legally, unless you live in the two states that do not allow it by law.
Why can't I shoot a deer with my gun out of my car?
Again, you can, if you are willing to risk the consequences of your actions.
All of those infringe the rights by the 2A.
No, they really don't. The 2A is about the right to keep and bear. You don't understand what the 2A covers, and it does not over rule other rights. Read the Federalist Papers
