The entire premise of the Federalist is to trash Democrats. It does things like spread disinformation about the pandemic. There’s nothing good faith about that site.
If The Federalist is such a lopsided source, which its obviously right wing, then the points made in the article should be easily refuted, no? We will wait.

I never said anything about a standard of legality. I would challenge the Second Amendment even referring to anyone outside of a well regulated militia. But that aside, in countries like Australia and the UK, self defense isn't a legal reason for owning a weapon. Regardless, high capacity magazines in semi-auto weapons have no use beyond trying to kill large numbers of people quickly. Why is that something you support being in the hands of John Q. Public?
Wait, so their firearm death rate of 0.88 per 100k is on par with the US rate of 12?Yes, and in their gun buyback program, violent crime went up in the immediate period after, then returned to pre-buyback levels. So, no change.
Gun buybacks: What the research says
In the leadup to the 2020 primaries, we look at what the research says about how effective gun buyback programs are at reducing gun violence.
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
You just described why it’s not worth refuting. If you’re going to use the Federalist, a known right wing rag, as the starting point, then you’re indicating you don’t care to have a good faith discussion. Feel free to pick a middle ground starting point and we can go from there.
It is any rifle that you assault something with?
The litmus test for stupidity is gun control…whether reviewing the data, engaging in hypothetical logical conclusions based upon reality, actually looking at individual cases or just understanding the purpose of the 2nd not to mention the historical data of gun control in many countries…or even just having an idea of what happened in the Meadows Massacre here in the USA. It was overwhelmingly supported by the public. Republicans voting against it for political purposes is not really the same thing. It was telling that there were Republican elected officials putting out statements about all the good things that would happen for their constituents, even though they voted against the actual bill.
Here we go with the deflection ... I don't really care about statues, and this is way off topic.
Massive strawman. Nobody argues that they have a right to kill someone. They do have a right to protect themselves AND to be prepared to stop a tyrannical government. It was such an important concept that the founders made it the second item to list as our rights. Don't like it? Leave.
You're taking away the ability to prevent a tyrannical government. Any time a tyrannical government comes along, what's the first thing they do? Take away the guns. You're playing right into what they want. You're actually MUCH safer with more guns on the streets. If bad people don't know who is capable of shooting back, they are less likely to try to shoot someone themselves.
Maybe we're just tired of people that are trying to push laws to be passed on topics they obviously don't know WTF they are talking about.
I'd rather have the option to have my AR15 in my hand when those tanks roll in vs just holding my finger up at them...
Great, so CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NYT, Wa Po, etc are all out because they are known for lying. Thanks for playing.
Wow, the "it doesn't happen in my back yard, therefore it doesn't happen" argument...
But those black guns...they look terrible...and some have handles. Gotta get rid of those very powerful guns and bullets like the .223 that shoot through tanks or those assault arms bought in gun shops that shoot 400 rounds a second. Some bullets are faster than others. Why do we need fast bullets? Yeah, but some weigh more than others...like getting hit with a brick. No more 300 gr bullets for 45-70s and such. Who gives a $hit, let's talk kinetic energy...but you promised no math ...besides why is an informed opinion needed? I know what I feel! Why attack center fire...what about shotguns hitting innocent people with their 5 foot spread? Outlaw centerfire and shotguns, but keep rimfire...like a .17 that would not look so big. Who cares if that little bullet goes fast...just don't let it have a handle. Outlaw 3d printers so people can't make whatever is outlawed...or make a law against it something to deter someone willing to die to kill another
Jesus, yes maybe gun deaths have gone down, but deaths in general have not. The methods have just shifted. Without guns, you are giving the average male an overwhelming advantage over just about ANY female. Do you not care about the rights of women to not be attacked and or raped?
You post links to doctored, conspiratorial YouTube videos and try to pass them off as factual. You should probably sit this one out.
Let’s see, you post long, highly edited videos that are extremely slanted and you try to pass them off as factual. Read that back to yourself slowly, genius.
Edited is 100% different than doctored. Then again, you use the word highly when describing the editing. Any proof of that? Didn't think so. Try again hoss.
I know that. You know that. 03 is passing the random edited ones he finds on YouTube off as stone cold ironclad fact. Talk to him instead.
Not like you'd know anyway. You probably haven't watched most of my stuff. And no, the longest videos I've linked have no cuts.
WOW! How did I miss this take? You seriously think a bunch of backwoods hilljacks arming themselves are going to take on the military? This may be the most ridiculous reasoning I've seen yet. Yes, that was actually the aim of the amendment. But no, no matter how many guns you own, you're not going to take on the military. The idiots at the Capitol on January 6 saw that firsthand, and that was with a president who actively avoided sending in the national guard.
So you don't think the US has more gun deaths than any other country on earth (not even gross - per 100k citizens) has anything to do with having the most guns? There's no correlation in your mind? And yes, there will always be crime.
Wow, how’d you ever guess I wasn’t going to watch any of your conspiracy theory videos? Pure genius! I don’t care what anyone says about you, you are definitely the sharpest tack in the drawer.
