If I can't buy a bazooka, the terrorists win.

A bazooka is so WWII...lot better blow'em up toys now a days.
This is what we used in the Vietnam era.

Laws rocket

And while we are on the subject...the reason the gun nuts give you is that need to protect us from tyranny of our own government...never mind we still have the vote.

They think a group of red necks with ar15s and say some real full auto weapons and throw in some grenade launchers is going to be any match for our government...LMAO.

10 Insane Military Weapons In Action

The only logical "resistance" use of AR-type weapons is for an insurgency. Insurgents don't usually engage military, they usually murder civilians to destabilize society and delegitimize authority. School shootings are just a warm-up, proof of concept.

Yessir, the Vietcong ONLY killed civilians and defenseless water buffalo. Same with the Taliban. ONLY civvies get killed in insurgent warfare alright.

I say "usually", you say "ONLY".

To plays devils advocate farmers with rifles and rpgs have done surprisingly well in the wars with the US military in the last 50 years.

Haven't seen this in a while time to look again it is Jim Jefferies: Gun Control

Jim Jefferies

From your link:

"In the majority opinion authored by Justice Antonin Scalia, the Court first conducted a textual analysis of the operative clause, "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." The Court found that this language guarantees an individual right to possess and carry weapons. The Court examined historical evidence that it found consistent with its textual analysis. The Court then considered the Second Amendment’s prefatory clause, "[a] well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State," and determined that while this clause announces a purpose for recognizing an individual right to keep and bear arms, it does not limit the operative clause. The Court found that analogous contemporaneous provisions in state constitutions, the Second Amendment’s drafting history, and post-ratification interpretations were consistent with its interpretation of the amendment."

Yes the right does not come from the founders it comes from a very recent right wing court, in the expected 5/4 decision.

The phrase you and Scalia seem not to want to read is well regulated and 18 year old with mental problems is hardly well regulated

18? Who cares about the mental state of an 18 year old? Why, I don't care about any opinion under the age of 25, when the brain has fully matured.

18 year old is now the legal age to buy a rifle.

Mmm, mmm. It was also the argument some conservative used to say why we shouldn't care why the school shooting kids are protesting, as if you need to be 25 before you can decide whether you want to be shot. Most people replied in kind -- that it doesn't make sense that the same kids can buy and OWN the guns, if they can't be trusted to decide whether they want to be shot by them.

If you are not mature enough to by beer well...

I'm going to guess nobody wants to get shot by a gun. Voting or being pro 2a doesn't change that.

Suicidal people do.

And that makes up a substantial number of gun deaths. And if you believe that people don't have the right to that...

If you want to kill yourself, man up and kick a grizzly bear like we did in the old days.

We? Assuming you are one of the class that wanted to kill yourself in the old days and implemented that plan you must have either backed out before the follow through, in which case don't brag, or after, in which case you are probably a total badass with some awesome scars.

Suicide is the main reason that you are less safe with a gun in your house, not the only reason but by far the main reason.

If you came to this saying that the relying on the founders was an antiquated throwback to a more immature time then you'd have some ground. But don't think for one minute that the founders had anything other than exactly the opposite of what you believe in mind.

"Among the many interesting objects, which will engage your attention, that of providing for the common defence will merit particular regard. To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.

A free people ought not only to be armed but disciplined; to which end a Uniform and well digested plan is requisite: And their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories, as tend to render them independent on others, for essential, particularly for military supplies.

The proper establishment of the Troops which may be deemed indispensible, will be entitled to mature consideration. In the arrangements which may be made respecting it, it will be of importance to conciliate the comfortable support of the Officers and Soldiers with a due regard to economy." -George Washington

Thomas Jefferson was a total gun nut and espoused the same reasoning that 2a people continue to repeat. I also believe in the general good in people and that the vast majority of people don't want to murder other people and can be trusted with any weapon.
Here is a much more even handed look at it.

“Those numbers don’t exist because there’s no national registry,” said Jan Kemp, spokeswoman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. “Because by law, we are not allowed to have a national registry.”

Nobody knows exactly how many assault rifles exist in the U.S. – by design

That's not all....this is probably the most important and easy to fix and shows this is not a debate at all.


Why Can't the U.S. Treat Gun Violence as a Public-Health Problem?

A 1996 bill has had a chilling effect on the CDC’s ability to research firearms.


And background checks until this is fixed the rest is just a joke

In February 2017, President Trump repealed an Obama-era regulation that would have made it easier to block the sale of firearms to people with certain mental illnesses.
