“All the others ignoring the reality of the Supreme Court decisions .”
nope not “ALL the others” I gave no fewer than 3 reasons why the reality is that that argument is completely irrelevant (I gave 4 reasons though in responding to this point the first 2 work together)
“Gun ownership has become enshrined…Real believers will not give up their weapons without a fight”
so had abortion. Arguing that people won’t like their “rights “taken away and may/will get violent Is not a compelling argument
If gun ownership is a good idea argue for that if not this is irrelevant
These arguments are examples of the “fluff” I referred to earlier
they sound substantive, but they aren’t after thinking about them for a bit
Ditto for the Holocaust argument. the Polish and French Armies were better armed than the most liberal and expansive interpretation of the second amendment would allow . Both armies fell rather quickly it is a bit silly to think oh my AR 15 will hold back the US army should they attempt another Holocaust. There were many armed uprisings NONE of them succeeded in stopping Holocaust. Sure a few individuals may have saved themselves (probably at the expense of numerous others killed in reprisals, though I don’t think that makes their act improper)
but again this feeds back to my point namely weighing the indivual vs the collective . THAT is the real question at hand .
constitution, Supreme court those are distractions
