Have any of you had recent arguments online supporting the 2nd Amendment?

I've had one on-going for a couple of days. Been advocating for and educating people on the AR platform. Finally, I just had enough of the ad hominen attacks, false platitudes and strawman arguments and ended the discussion by telling them they no longer had any rational sense of the discussion and were simply attacking me for being supportive of the constitution.

People who are generally decent folks are just shite outta their minds about the AR right now. I was called a kid killer, told that I support the indiscriminate spraying of bullets into a group of children, and even had one a-hole go into my Facebook and come back and disparage me for being from Louisiana.

I've had one with a friend IRL. He goes back and forth, but I think he's snapped at least for the time being.

People that talk politics on FB are trashy.

It's futile.

Join the real world. Have a conversation “”in personam”. Won’t help in the case of the 2nd Amendment, but it might teach you and the other conversant something.

Just ask them if they would like to discuss common sense forcep laws. Forceps have killed millions of babies.

Oh hell no

But I did deliberately post on FB that I was at the range with my AR pistol trying to resolve a failure to extract problem

This is my outlet for political talk. I don't talk it outside of a political setting unless it's face to face and it's civil discourse or discussion. Social media debating is horrible.

I got temporarily banned from another forum. You can pretty much guess which one if you look to the left of this post.

Yes, right here. I've had to defend against the idea that people should not be allowed to have guns if they:

1. Receive government benefits
2. Have any mental health diagnosis
3. Have taken any psychotropic drugs.

And I was arguing with people who I thought were pro-2nd amendment. This disturbs me because I've never felt like I was one of the extreme supporters of it, so I can't believe I've had to defend against some completely ridiculously anti-freedom and anti-constitutional arguments.

I'm beginning to think very few people care about anything in the Constitution, unless it personally impacts them and especially when it impacts those they do not like. Maybe this has always been the case, but it's concerning nonetheless.

Yes. I have "lost" two Facebook "friends" over the gun debate in the last few days. Lol. I love it.

Arguing with liberals on liberal boards is...

...very similar to not being a Trump supporter on this board.

Liberal - [civil question]

Me - [polite, explanatory answer]

Liberal - SO NICE TO KNOW YOU VALUE YOUR BLOODLUST MORE THAN THE LIVES OF MY CHILD YOU ARE WHATS WRONG WITH THE WORLD
