during gladiator matches, the audience would hurl weapons into the ring, hoping the gladiators would use them on each other.

our streets, schools and communities have now become the gladiator ring; an enormous circus to entertain the rich and wealthy classes. the NRA and the gun building, warmongering corporate pigs who financially support that group, are flooding the streets of America with millions upon millions of guns of every kind, where the citizens of this country; made psychopathic through cultural engineering, use them on each other in bloody massacre after bloody massacre. Overseeing this are the wealthy and PTB, who see our plight and laugh while they sip their wine and eat their caviar.

Keep in mind that the 2nd amendment was written by a small group of wealthy, white, male slave owners. In theory it sounds good (guns protect us from tyrants, etc), but in practice, in a peaceful, modern democratic society, it fails miserably. The 2nd amendment has not "kept us safe", it has made our communities weaker, and destroys trust between individual persons.
