Do You Think This Country Still Supports the 2nd Amendment?

I don’t support it.

I want all guns banned. No exceptions. As do almost everyone I know. Young and old.

The proverbial “bubble”.

Yeah … The Constitution be damned.

Next on the agenda, banning free speech. We cant have people going around saying things we don’t want to hear or offending people now can we.

When you can kill with a word get back to me.

More people have died as the result of words than from guns. In fact, most people killed with guns died because of words.

When you can place an intelligent respose, get back to me.

No they haven’t.

I know I’m never going to change their minds. They love their guns more than anything else.

Yet another baseless assertion intended to demean.

What you don’t seem to understand is that freedom is worth the risks involed with being free. To quote Benjamin Franklin, “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

Owning a gun facing a government with nukes doesn’t make you free. Back when you could go toe to toe with the nations military with similar firepower, you could say that. Not anymore. It’s a nice fantasy. Seriously man who will you shoot at? The drone operator 1000 miles away?

The US gov’t isn’t going to be using nukes on US soil, the thought is preposterous at best.

As for the rest take a look at Afghanistan and explain why over 3/4 of the country has reverted to Taliban hands in spite of our best efforts.

We seriously aren’t making an effort there. There is no and never has been a WWII style assault on the place. If we treated them the way we treated the Japanese, this would have been over a long time ago. Nukes aside, they surely will use drones & guided missiles on you. Your gun is useless if that is what you’re up against.

If no one was allowed to have guns you wouldn’t need to worry about needing one to protect yourself from a bad gun with a gun.

No?

What are you going to use, your angry, clenched little girl fist?

I’d love to introduce him to my ex-wife.

Wow! Two full months of waiting and that’s all you could come up with.

I asked for an intelligent response, not just another of your school yard retorts.

Try again … I’ll be here.

If that were true Afghanistan would have been over a decade ago and the Taliban would be extinct.

He won’t be 1,000 miles away. He lives in the same neighborhood.

How will you know who the drone operator is? They have people operating drone in the ME from Hawaii or CA.

The Telegraph

The air force men who fly drones in Afghanistan by remote control

The unmanned aircraft patrolling the skies above Afghanistan are controlled by pilots sitting in front of screens as far as 7,000 miles away

You will have no idea who is operating it nor where they are. They could be on a ship in the middle of the ocean. This fantasy that you will be able to stop our military to “preserve your liberty” is the silliest joke gun nuts hold on to. It’s far worse than the “self protection” argument because all studies show that your weapons will most likely be used on yourself or a family member. The only thing that stops our military is lack of political will to really do what it takes to win wars anymore. Firepower and technology aren’t the problem.

The second amendment like abortion is not going away. They are both here to stay. Protest all you want people. Gun ownership is a right. The supreme Court has upheld it time and time again. Even in Chicago.

Nuff said.

His family won’t be on a ship.

Looks like the 9th Circuit panel supports the 2nd. At least two of them.

Yakshi · 2018-07-28T21:02:53.951Z

After decades of campaigning for the Second, support has never been higher, I think.
