Excellent logical reasoning... If we asked the guns whether they prefer left or right-wing people, do you think they'd care?
There isn't a multibillion dollar industry in not selling guns for anyone to profit by. Maybe common people could make one. Millions of little badges saying "I didn't get shot" or something like that. Mite b cool
Once you make the common people defenseless they can be abused by those whom weald the most influence over government, those are the ones who stand to profit.
And who are they defending themselves against? Cause if it’s their own military (or anyone else’s), their guns won’t be of any help…
Abused like screwed over with healthcare, taxes and insurance, made to pay trillions for the most expensive military in the world and forced to sit through endless pointless lawsuits whilst their environment is trashed by industry, meanwhile being brutalized by a fearful policing and courts that send people to for profit prisons in ever increasing numbers. Maybe forced to vote between only two political parties who really stand for all of the above because of the constant pandering to financial interests and don't really make any significant changes.
It can get lots worse than that.
Cause even the best assault rifles tend to fail against armored vehicles and aircraft… but hey, feel free to think your militia would have a chance against any trained military…
Like in Australia and most of Europe where no one but farmers and sport shooters have guns, though you probably mean North Korea... because it totally makes sense that the US would become like North Korea if rational gun legislation was introduced.
James Madison said the second amendment applies to naval cannonry so if the second amendment hadn't been infringed, I don't think that'd be a problem.
The end goal of the gun control lobby is total disarmament of the law abiding citizen.
The disarmament of everyone who doesn't use guns as tools is the end goal. Not because some power play, but because the violence around them. It's all over the world in civilized countries. It's the modern way.
It's literally a weapon in that scenario, not a tool.
So you're going to purchase a bunch of cannons? Explain how that will be useful? The only (valid) argument against gun control has always been that the stripping of ANY freedom from the individual might be a slippery slope - where taking one "liberty" away might lead to more liberties being taken away down the road...
There's not a sense of where an individual's rights trespass on the rights of society with many people though. Like there's no ability to extrapolate how freedom is curtailed with high gun incidence. I really think the narrative is deeply set in man, that there will have to be a generational change of people who no longer believe that violence is freedom.
I'm implying the individual should have access to the same level of firepower as the government.
Except anything that would be effective against the military would cost more than anyone other than Elon Musk could afford… explain how that makes us “free”?
Multiple conflicts around the world throughout history have shown that technology is not the deciding factor.
None with the mechanized forces that exist in modern military nations like the US… try again
A mechanised forces worst enemy isn't other mechanised forces but logistics.None with the mechanized forces that exist in modern military nations like the US… try again
So how does a private citizen with a rifle make a dent?!? You’re grasping at straws and you know it…. Continue to troll if you want, but there is no argument in your favor here…..
