I have explained it on multiple gun posts here before and provided links again, but I don’t think anyone needs to see me write walls of text over and over.

Taking away guns isn’t the answer. Arming minorities is the answer.

Well, if you really want to know, we are an English common law system and it’s based off of Article 61 of the Magna Carta which enshrines the peoples’ right to correct the government if it ignores the Constitution or infringes upon their rights.

I haven’t had a chance to listen yet, but it can’t be as bad as that house he spent $100 million on.

This paper explicitly mentions the Federalist papers you referred to, in case it interests you. Not a long read.

Nothing amazing unfortunately since I haven’t spent much time trying to convince people, but here are a few quick things that should help to get started:

Too little, too late? Trump was attacked for doing it before there was “enough evidence” for it. Democrats were still actively encouraging people to go out to Chinese New Year celebrations.

So this website breathlessly complains about Russian campaigns designed to sow discontent and unrest, but openly praises the Chinese version of the same thing?

I wish the Federalist and Anti-Federalist papers were required reading for all Americans. Most people have no idea where our political differences came from even that far back much less to the differences in theory dating back to Rome and Greece. Obviously, great legal minds have made solid arguments both ways at this…

Of course, we don’t typically see the left with military style gear, protesting the government.

Without much fanfare?

I guess it goes back to that old quote:

I already addressed your point about “guns won’t work against the military” in another comment so I will save doing that again, but I will point out that wearing a mask while advocating for a relaxed quarantine isn’t necessarily hypocritical. These people aren’t saying COVID isn’t real or that no one should take…

It’s not about winning a direct firefight and I trust that you are wise enough to understand that already. How well do you think it would go exactly if the government started gunning down peaceful protesters because they were carrying a rifle in a place where that is legal? Luckily for us, Democratic governors have…

I appreciate you, bro. I doubt we will see eye-to-eye here either though. Look into prefatory and operative clauses in legal writing and perhaps the way it is written will make more sense.

It is certainly a protest centered around “empowerment”, but I don’t think it was truly threatening. I’m actually involved in North Carolina politics so I can speak specifically to the gun-wielding protesters there, not Michingan, but our sergeant-at-arms weren’t actually nervous about violence. There are and have…

The militia question and the wording/grammar arguments over the 2nd Amendment are what makes it a difficult issue, right?

The Founding Fathers were elites who didn’t like to hear from plebeians either, I agree.

Even many liberal politicians (with a law degree) admit it’s unconstitutional. LA County’s top attorney repealed the prohibition before the (politically elected) sheriff re-implemented it. Democratic governors have resignedly allowed them to continue sales even in places where they have said to shut down. Now that the…

Malcom X liked to use guns for protest...
