It does not work out that way that would be mob rule everyone voting on an amendment they do it in some states and it is a joke of the highest proportions.Even if they did do that
gun rights would win I would say that there are more pro gun rights than anti gun rights people in the US and a good number that simply would refuse to see any amendment tampered with that would vote in support of gun rights.
The person that "beat you half to death" did not kill you did they? If their intent was to do so they would have and by you own experience you prove that a person can cause great harm with their bare hands so why not require that all hands be cut off?
Also what in the hell are you doing to be 13 years old and get beaten half to death by more than one person? You need to either stop socializing where you do that winds up in your getting a beat down or you need to learn some self defense.
A person doing something in anger or as a criminal act (knowing what they are doing) is not the same thing as a mentally ill person.Stop coming up with ideas of how someone might go nuts you sound as though you live in fear to me.
A guy wanting to kill his ex will likely do it if he commits to a plan the drive time will only give him more resolve or have no effect on him many people have driven to and away from murders.
