One of the most frequent arguments I hear from gun control advocates about the Second Amendment is that it was written for a specific time (namely, the Revolutionary Era), and has absolutely no business existing today. They suspiciously don\\\'t have this opinion about any of the other amendments in the Bill Of Rights. Hence, when you apply the same logic to, say, the First Amendment, they do, in fact, get cranky. It\\\'s a perfectly valid point, so I\\\'m putting it back in.
Just because the statistics are not cited doesn\\\'t mean they aren\\\'t true. The reason isn\\\'t to show that the United States is necessarily better in terms of crime, but to show that gun bans, like those in the UK, Australia or New Zealand, do not necessarily mean a safer society, which is the \\\'\\\'very basis\\\'\\\' of the philosophy of the gun control movement.
Perhaps the reason why the arguments seem to fall on the pro-gun side is because the gun control side has failed, to this day, to come up with any truly valid arguments. It\\\'s one of the reasons why the movement has largely failed to enact any lasting legislation. They simply don\\\'t have the facts on their side. We can\\\'t help it if this wiki page reflects that.
