1- pikuach nefesh? All the Jews being attacked in New York are better off not being able to defend themselves? All the victims of criminals are better off not being able to defend themselves. There’s not a single law, that you mention that would actually take the guns away from criminals. You have only been talking about actions that will remove Guns from law abiding citizens. Pikuach nefesh I think would be putting the criminals away behind bars. But that is not something that you mentioned. They are certainly not giving up their guns. So you are talking about leaving guns in the hands of criminals and leaving law, abiding citizens, unable to defend themselves. If you want to argue. Pikuach nefesh I would argue get more guns and training in the hands of law-abiding citizens, not less.
2- guns in the hands of citizens are meaningless compared to a government that has fighter jets? Are you aware of what happened recently in Afghanistan. The mightiest Army in the history of the world was just kicked out of Afghanistan by a bunch of goat herder‘s. They did the same thing to the Russians half a generation ago. How about Vietnam? It is called guerrilla warfare. Do you really see a future where the Air Force sends a bunch of fire attack jets and launches missiles against citizens? Do you really see a situation where that order is given? Do you really see a situation where fighter jet pilots will be that order? Don’t forget, they are all probably conservatives. Do you see a situation where it gets on the news that our army is launching howitzers and missiles and similar into peoples homes? And the army obeys the orders? I don’t see that happening. And if it did with 300 million Firearms in the country and let’s say it most no more than 1 million combat soldiers do you really see any way that the United States army wins against let’s say 100 million trained and armed citizens? Inconceivable to me. People in Manhattan and New Jersey. I’m sure it would be eager to surrender to the government but citizens that value, liberty and freedom and who have extensive training would not be so easy. And how many of the combat soldiers value liberty over Tierney and would resist orders? How many from say Florida and Alabama and Arkansas would actively sabotage the army?
I don’t see a possibility that the government would give orders to bomb peoples homes. I don’t see a possibility that those orders, if given would be obeyed, and I don’t see a possibility that the half of the country that believes in liberty would not actively fight against such an evil government. and I think the majority of combat soldiers in the Armed Forces would be conservative and Wood resist those orders and actively sabotage.
