    Sadly 30,000 people with mental disabilities per year kill themselves with guns. Thus, Second Amendment takes their Right to Life away.

    That's some really twisty pretzel logic you have going, there. Ignoring that yes, we prefer companies not pollute the air to the point that people can't breathe, but that doesn't mean oxygen costs money. Your second point is just plain silly. If we don't exhale carbon dioxide (how can you fix that?) how will the plants have energy to release oxygen so we can breathe?

    Nope they take their own lives the 2nd Amendment doesn't kill them. So if I have a right to own a gun and a right to a house is the government required to supply them? And in the first the Constitution EXPLICITLY states that right while the second there is no such right in the Constitution. If I don't have a gun are my rights being violated?

    During the years 1999 - 2015, in USA, 313,641 people killed themselves with guns and 198,760 people were murdered by guns. Second Amendment is a strange right.

    Sadly most of people who killed themselves had no right to therapy, food, and housing.

    Indeed - for every gun used to commit murder, >8 were used on in self-defense; for every gun used to commit suicide, >3 were used in self-defense.

    Tell us again why you believe having the right to something means you are entitled to the means to exercise that right.

    I feel those people should have the right to wack themselves. Who is the best judge of what is right for them self? Just because you disagree doesn't make them wrong or mentally ill.

    About 1 homicide in 100 is justifiable according to police.

    Suicide is a sin as great as murder.

    Which does not in any way affect what I said - firearms are used in self-defense far more often than to commit murder/suicide

    I agree with both your points. And the wealthy do pay much higher taxes.

    If you gave California $20 Trillion they would spend double that on committee's trying to decide how to spend $20 Trillion.

    In which case you would make a healthy profit.

    I suggest, if you want everyone to have the right to food housing and medical care, you get a job and start paying for your own.

    Start it with you.
