I haven’t moved anything. Those are all valid points that refute your argument. You don’t seem smart enough to even understand the points.
And I thoroughly answered all of them in my responses, and you continued to almost completely side step all of it and move the goal post afterwords.
You talk about the freedom to own guns as if that freedom trump’s the freedom of citizens to have freedom of expression.
What? Where did I say that? And please do directly quote me.
Seriously, I'm not trying to be funny or insulting, but you do really seem to have some major reading comprehension issues. You might want to calm down, collect yourself, go back, and re-read what I wrote to gain an actual understand, because right now it just seems you're pulling things you wish I said out from out no where in order to build some ad hoc argument ie a strawman.
The freedom of expression in this country is enshrined in the 1st amendment along with free speech. The nothing about the 2nd amendment right to bear arms infringes on that. You are allowed to express yourself by protesting, rallying, speaking openly, and publishing anything you want. In fact the 1st and 2nd amendment often go hand in hand with using one to defend the other as we see with the open carry protest(hpngc south dallas TX mosque counter protest or nbpp paris TX protest) or using the freedom of speech to defend the freedom to bear arms, as I'm doing now.
Every week now there’s a new terrorist attack committed by someone with a militarized gun who’s aim is to restrict people’s freedoms. Kids are marching in the streets telling the country that they don’t even feel safe in their own schools. So we are seeing that people’s right to bear arms is directly contributing to the restriction of other rights.
Ehh, no. Every so often there's a mass shooting or school shooting, which are statistically very rare, and account for very small amount of total deaths.
And rifles(of which the ar-15 is a small subset) are only used in
less than a QUARTER of all mass shootings and
%3.4 of the firearm murders and %2.5 of the total homicides(knives, blunt objects and hands/feet account for more homicides).
And the fact that these fact that these kids are free to march up the down the streets protesting, regardless of how uninformed they are, proves their rights to freedom of expression are alive and well.
Again, nobody is trying to take away the right to bear arms. Putting g restrictions in place on the grade of weapons that citizens can own doesn’t take away your right to bear arms. Your position is based on a lie.
No, but, you're trying to limit my rights to bear arms based on what you arbitrarily think I need, based on what you arbitrarily consider to be a "military grade weapon", which is ridiculous to say the least.
And again, the common civilian AR-15 is not a 'military grade weapon'. It's not used by the military. It wasn't designed for use by the military, but specifically as a hunting and defense rifle. And while well made, isn't anywhere close to being the most power rifle even on the civilian market, seeing as it uses the same caliber rounds as a standard .22 handgun. It's just very VERY common, thus an easy target for scrutiny by the media and uninformed individuals.
You say that they you need to have unrestricted access to firearms for “defense/protection” and refuted that bullshyt by pointing out that you don’t need military grade firearms for defense/protection against other citizens and those military grade firearms won’t protect you from the government or even your local police force. So who are you claiming that these weapons are going to protect you from?
Again, I already addressed your "need" argument, which I never made and specifically pointed out as being an illogical red herring.
I never said this issue was about what a person 'needs', because that's pretty subjective and I shouldn't have restrictions to my freedom being decided by someone's subjective idea about what they feel each and every citizen the nation over needs to have in any and all situations(as if there aren't an infinite number of factors that could come into play from person to person when determining that), but about freedom of choice. And I'd like to be able to make that decision myself, not have that decided for me based on your and anyone else's arbitrary assessment of personal necessity. Laws are never passed on the basis of restricting people based on what they "need", only and nothing else, anyway. That fact is that the AR-15 or any other Semi-Auto rifle CAN, has been useful in personal self defense on MANY occasions, and is in fact very sufficient for home defense.
And addressing the point about taking on a rouge government
And if by chance we were in a situation where we had to defend ourselves from a rouge WS government, we certainly wouldn't use conventional warfare like that you would see of to states of comparable militaristic capabilities. We would have to employ irregular guerrilla tactics such as those that were employed SUCCESSFULLY for instance by the Afghans during the Soviet occupation, the bangledeshis during the rebellion from pakistan and the Vietcong during the American occupation.
^You can also add Hezbollah driving out the Israeli military in Lebanon in 2006 to that list.
Again goes back to reading comprehension.
I didn’t ask you were gun restriction laws right wing authoritarianism, I told you that your position is the same as right wing nuts who you initially tried to distance yourself from. You sound like one of these NRA cats.
Actually, you did.
You actually believe that gun law restrictions are a tenet of right wing government authoritarianism? That makes no sense.

^^You
Again dummy, he point was to refute your claim that you need military grade weapons for defense/protection. The only group that you could argue needing that kind of firearms for is the government, which is the right wing NRA argument that you’re using. I’m sayin that ar-15s and these other assault rifles that saying that you claim to need for protection, wot protect you from the government. So if you’re serious about that “protection” argument, then you should be advocating for there being no restrictions on the weaponry that citizens can own. You should be fighting for the right to have access to everything that the military has access too since you’re so worried about protection from the government.
^^^See previous quotes addressing the "need" and "rouge government" point.
By the way, the M16 is also a firearm, but it’s banned. Matter of fact, from ‘94-04 the ar-15 itself was banned. So clearly the right to bear arms doesn’t guarantee citizens to own any type of firearm that they so desire. Certain firearms are banned in certain states and not others. Come on, you’re dumbing this conversation down.
Actually, that's exactly what the 2nd amendment was originally written for. It guaranteed the rights of citizens(except enslaved and free blacks who weren't considered full citizens) to own ANY type of firearm, including the one's used by the military at the time. Only later would 'gun control' measure be put in place by state & federal legislation and court cases to limit citizens second amendment rights- One of the earliest being those of the 'black codes' of the reconstruction era south.
And btw the "assault weapons" ban that you're referring to, was shown to have no discernible effect on lower gun violence or even mass shootings in the country when it was in place. And one of the reasons was because, like you don't for 'military grade', the congress didn't have a set definition for what it considered an "assault weapon", thus just came up with a ad hoc list of guns to be put on the ban list. The company that manufactured the ar-15 simply designed another model called the 'colt sporter' that essentially had the same specs to be sold for civilian use while the ban was in place.
This is a lie, which I just proved above

All firearms are not covered under the 2nd amendment. Like I said, the M16 is currently banned, so is the uzi. I think tech-9s are too. There are plenty of restrictions to what firearms citizens can own already on the books depending on your state and there always has been. You’re embarrassing yourself.
The 2nd amendment doesn't restrict my access to any of those weapons. The National Firearm Act of 1934 and Firearms Owner Protection Act of 1986 does. There's nothing within the 2nd amendment itself that say I can't own an M16. If we repealed the 1934 NFA &1986 FOPA like we did with the 1994 AWB(technically expired) and kept the 2nd amendment, and I would be able to purchase and own all of those guns.
Matter of fact I’m stopping here. I’m not even going to waste my time with the rest of that dumb shyt you wrote. The fact that there has already been provisions to the 2nd amendment that you apparently don’t understand disproves your whole argument.
I don't see how we can continue to have this conversation if you insist on continuing to run away from the points being raised, and then moving the goal post.
