re: How do so many Americans have a fundamental misunderstanding of the 2nd amendment?

quote:

---

Haven't ever played those, but shoulder-mounted nukes exist in the real world. Why can't I own one, champ?

---

Uhhhhh... It was an experimental weapon platform that was quickly discarded because of how unsafe It was.

Jesus fricking Christ how stupid are you?

quote:

---

My shoulder-mounted nuke falls under the category of 'arms'. Where can I get one?

---

No where. Because that weapon platform was scrapped while still in the prototype phase.

quote:

---

I'd prefer neither situation, but you're perfectly fine with the 17. I don't know how to teach you empathy, little man.

---

Just like you're perfectly fine with 46k people dying from second hand smoke every year. I can't teach you empathy, hypocrite.

quote:

---

Gotta get rid of the groundhogs somehow.

And we're talking a LOT of groundhogs. Very rabid little frickers.

You're welcome, buddy.

---

Self-defense from groundhogs? I knew you were weak, but that's odd.

Either way, I accept your concession on that point. Again.

You might want to stop making it, since you can't ever support it.

quote:

---

ya have to have access to a warhead to be able to operate one

---

It's not about access, it's about legality. I'm not allowed to have access to that particular type of arms, and you're fine with it. Why are you fine with that, but not with gun control laws that can save lives?

quote:

---

after you get thrown in jail

---

They'd violate my 2nd-amendment rights?! GUBMINT STOOGES!

quote:

---

Why are you obsessed with getting rid of the first line of defense for many people who could be in harm's way

---

Because they're not, and to think otherwise is to betray a profound ignorance on the subject.

quote:

---

I've literally never seen you lobby for something that doesn't hurt conservatives

---

Gun control doesn't hurt conservatives, it will save their lives. A reminder that the Vegas shooting was at a Country Music concert - that's a population that skews heavily liberal, does it now?

I'm glad you're not in the military any more, it'd be scary to think that you have an actual job instead of collecting unemployment from St Bernard Parish.

Self-defense from groundhogs?

---

SO MANY GROUNDHOGS.

The 2nd Amendment doesn't specify that I have to lay out a case for self-defense, so you really don't need to ask.

As usual, I'm always happy to remind you that you're wrong.

---

It was an experimental weapon platform that was quickly discarded because of how unsafe It was.

---

I'm glad we both agree that it exists, and that it's illegal for me to own said arms platform.

You're finally on the same page. We'll get you there eventually!

Your complete ignorance of the Second Amendment isn't important to me. I'm just here to make sure your bullshite doesn't go unattended.

Can you cite the amendment that protects the right to smoke cigarettes and kill 46k innocent people every year?

I'm still trying to find it.

Ohhhh... And of course this disproportionatly affects minorities and poor folk.

Wonder why you don't care about those 46k innocent victims every year.

I like reminding them that their belief that the 2nd Amendment is absolute is built on a throne of lies.

You, also, do well to have that particular leg of your beliefs knocked away from time to time.

It's not a set of beliefs. It's a fundamental understanding of words and history. Try it sometime.

Still waiting on that amendment that protects the rights of those who smoke cigarettes and kill 46k innocent people every year.
