Which frankly sounds a lot like “rules for thee, not for me”.

I get that some people love their hobbies, and don’t like to be inconvenienced by the law. But, I find trying to justify gun ownership, and their relationship with abolishing tyrannical governments, childish and comedic to an extreme nowadays. Like, I want a drone, but I’m not going to throw a tantrum every time the FAA issues a new ruling.

We get it. You like guns. You don’t want to give them up. Stop making shit up, you will never stand in arms against the government, and you will not be part of a “well regulated militia”. Hell, I bet all my savings that, if there was a draft right now, to strengthen the military against a genuine and imminent threat, most gun owners would not volunteer, because shooting at cans, and at the clouds during the 4th of July is pretty much all they really do.

I’m wondering why fireworks aren’t constitutionally protected, though.

The FAA introducing a new ruling around drones cannot lead to a tyrannical gov. Full stop, your example is not the same.

Now you're getting irrational and can predict the future. Not gonna respond to this part.

You're talking to a wartime veteran. Please tell me more how I didn't honor my oath.

> I’m wondering why fireworks aren’t constitutionally protected, though.

Because it's not a firearm.

Clearly you're being juvenile in your opinions and ready to throw a right away because you, just you, don't believe it's valuable. You believe people do not have a right to protection and likely want guns banned so that the left can turn this place into a dictatorship without any resistance.

Finally.

You said I’m being “juvenile”. You are clearly delusional.

What would any sane person call someone who thinks that the “left” in the US, whatever that means, is out to create a “dictatorship”? What will your guns do against an Apache helicopter?

If there is a danger to democracy, that would be the loads of people who clutch to their guns thinking that the “left” is coming for them, people who claim that they are “ready to resist”.

Because these paranoid types are two Breitbart articles away from becoming Three Percenters.

You call me delusional, then ask what Id do when the gov uses their weapons against its people. Not realizing this is exactly what we’re protecting against and clearly forgot natives have the advantage.

You’re also forgetting that Marxism requires a conversion to a dictatorship, and then that dictator giving their power up to bring in socialism. This should’ve never been said.

The rest of your post is a bigoted insult, which I won’t respond to (and is in fact against the rules here).

Do you think your irrationality changed my mind that the left doesn’t care about kids and in fact wants the murdering of kids to be legal nationwide? Do you think because you called me delusional that I’m more or less willing to have a gun control conversation?


Wow.

Cheers.


Yes, you solved nothing, disproved nothing. The only thing you were successful at was creating more division and showing just how much the left hates kids and breeding.
