In any case, in what follows, I argue (I strongly believe, soundly) that not only (i) owning, carrying, and/or using guns, but also (ii) The 2 nd Amendment to the US Constitution, and (iii) their necessary consequence, gun violence, are all rationally unjustified and immoral on broadly Kantian ethical grounds, and that therefore, (iv) Gun Abolitionism is rationally justified, morally right, and what we ought to do, by means of (iva) repealing The 2nd Amendment, and then (ivb) universally banning owning, carrying, and/or using guns.

Yeah, that is crazy. I wonder how many people would end up being killed.
Study Kant, do ya, Bob?
“[P]ossibly both the most influential racist as well as the most influential moral philosopher in the history of modern, western thought [whose] work and handwritten remains contain outrageously racist remarks”…?
Anyway, thanks for confirming what I’ve been telling people!
“rationally unjustified and immoral on broadly Kantian ethical grounds”
Go argue this in front of any judge, anywhere, and see what good it does you.
“… repealing The 2nd Amendment …”
Amazing that in this day and age some folks still think RKBA comes from the Second Amendment and that it would go away if the Second Amendment were repealed.

“6. The right to bear arms is not granted by the Constitution; neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence. The Second Amendments means no more than that it shall not be infringed by Congress, and has no other effect than to restrict the powers of the National Government.”
