“Do you have proof that it isn’t a benefit?”
that what isnt a benefit?
Of course there is a benefit to owning guns. They are fun I get it, I’ve gone shooting it is an absolute blast.
Driving 100 mph near school zones is a blast too. However both are dangerous and although I am an excellent driver and can avoid hitting pesky kids for the sake of society, my right to drive is curtailed although Iam otheriwise a law abiding citizen.
I get the appeal to guns, I dont really gt the needing it to overthrow the government part, I just dont understand how it works.
“But I want to take issue with your analogy to nuclear weapons”
It’s not an analogy. I’m pointing out that the 2nd amendment isnt absolute. and that all (I hope) agree there isnt an absolute right to own any “Arm” regardless of the consequences.
It is just a question of what arms owned by which people are included.
“I’ve repeatedly said that the argument against assault rifles is based on the idea that they are inherently more dangerous, and that is false”
note, I never made an argument against assault rifles.
