at least you admit that it is a "right", unlike driving, which is a "privilege" and kills more people than gunfire...than your right

nope. you simply don't/won't/can't understand why insurance is a good idea. twist it all you want, that's what you are doing. i'm not personally so much concerned with the federal govt as i am overreach by local govt/LEO/criminals. THEY don't have tanks etc and are much more likely to be standing on my porch screaming ... "when seconds make the difference between life and death, the local police are only ten minutes away"
depends on why they are out there.I'm actually highlighting dissonance in your own arguments. I haven't twisted anything.
I suppose you can pull a gun on local government/LEO. That's bound to go well.
nope, no dissonance. i've been consistent as hell.I'm actually highlighting dissonance in your own arguments.
And alcohol kills more people than gunfire privilege and driving combined
nope, no dissonance. i've been consistent as hell.
ONLY...if you have one. are you a French Surrender Monkey like everyone used to tell jokes about? or some other already disarmed prisoner?I suppose you can pull a gun on local government/LEO
still intentionally misconstruing my words, i see. you KEEP the firearms so they WON'T try. and no, i don't think American troops would attack the American people. but the troops are not the govt, are they? some dimwit like DeSantis might con the Fla. National guard into doing something stupid. you conflate the two as if they were a monobloc of like-minded creatures, a hive mentality. they are as individual as us on here. well, maybe not their haircuts...You have been consistent. But you've been using an argument of contrary positions.
"I need firearms to protect against a government who I don't believe would use them against me"
In a nutshell.
ONLY...if you have one. are you a French Surrender Monkey like everyone used to tell jokes about? or some other already disarmed prisoner?
you've shown no signs of rationality since you got here. try again, but with sincerity in your voice, Linus. if you're not sincere, the Great Pumpkin won't swoop down and haul off all of those evil guns you are so frightened by...A quick descent from rational discussion.
and you didn't answer my question, either.A quick descent from rational discussion.

Me as a non-us Euro:
Yeah trump was right, USD is going to fall in the next 100 years almost certainly, Euro, RMB will be the new reserves lol.
US seems pretty doomed when one takes a look at discussions like this. I'll prolly get attacked for this lol.
Oh yeah and not to forget the mother of the Colony, GBP prolly also doomed
They knew from past experience that technology would evolve just as we know now that technology will evolve.It's an outdated right given when none had a clue how deadly weapons would end up being. Its long been overdue to update the constitution. Things change that have a massive impact on society.. What was once good has become bad.
