More guns equal more deaths. That is true.

More cars equals more car accidents. I bet that's true also. Are you for banning cars?

2nd Amendment. Can't get around it.


What's the difference in training between cars and guns?


What's the difference between driving cars and keeping and bearing arms?


Well, there is the second amendment in the Constitution saying arms are a right. There is nothing in the Constitution about anyone driving cars. Driving is a granted privilege.


You win the internet today!

The right to travel is kinda shaky in doctrine, but is covered under Article IV, Section 2, Clause 1.

Versus...


A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.


The first 13 words of that is quite literal and they hate that.

Never mind the rest of it in context...

So they just focus on the words after that.



Individual people are not a well regulated militia, now are they?


Of course they are.

Unless you think that citizens that unite are not individuals...


Individual people are individual people, nothing near a well regulated militia. Actually during a crisis situation people untrained in how to use a firearm would be the opposite.

In the context of being a well regulated militia...context is everything.

2nd Amendment. Can't get around it.


What's the difference in training between cars and guns?


What's the difference between driving cars and keeping and bearing arms?


Everyone driving cars has some training - anybody can buy a gun without training.


And yet, with more cars, we still have more car crashes.

Even with training.

Interesting, innit.


And with more guns we have more children killing themselves or others.


Doctors screwing up prescriptions have killed more children this year.

In context, abortions have killed more children than any other cause.

If you take gang-banging out of the picture, malignant neoplasm has killed more kids this year.

So if you want to make the argument that guns are killing kids, the guns they are doing it with are illegal in the first place.

Perhaps if we made a law that illegal guns are illegal, would that help your argument?



So no problem for you with the more guns = more children dying because 'no infringement on my rights'? Is that what you are arguing for?


Yes, exactly.

Our rights are more important than any of your perceptions of security.

JFC...it's literally the 1st of the held decison:


Held:

1. The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. Pp. 2–53.

It is the research of non-partisan scientists that prove that more guns = more deaths rather than the stats from that Lott guy who is bought by the NRA. Simple to understand.

Any armed group. You only had one shot and then had to take several seconds to reload if you were good at it. An individual could not put up a very good defense without his neighbors helping.
