A similar line of reasoning can be found in this post:By arguing that legal guns are no match for an F-15, Biden is making a powerful case that citizens should be able to more easily own powerful military-grade weapons.
So your argument is, "We've already violated this amendment to the point where all you have are very basic infantry weapons, and now we're claiming those aren't effective without the stuff we've already banned, so it's reasonable to ban that, too."
And I'm saying, we need to fix the entire problem, which we both recognize, and eliminate those laws so veterans (and determined civilians who for whatever reason were unable to serve), can have the weapons they need so we CAN fight tanks and planes in such an emergency.
Biden doesn't get it, just as most anti-gunners don't get it. The 2A is not there in waiting for when we need it. It has already been working every day since the constitution was ratified, just as it was designed to work. Yes, the government could probably "win" every civil conflict with patriots protesting government overreach. But that's not the point. Such a "victory" would be so costly in terms of economic and political capital that it would be unthinkable. That reality has kept us safe from despotism for centuries now. Just picture the aftermath of the government using F-15s and Hellfire missiles on its citizens. Such a horrific vision has kept any would be dictators in check throughout our history.
When does Biden speak in a coherent manner?
Yes, the pattern is that they are all afraid of us.
Swallowell wants to nuke us, Biden will use jets and hellfire missiles on us, Bernie's people talk of burning cities and puting anyone that opposes them in camps, or just eliminating them all together. Is there a pattern developing here?
While I appreciate the wisedom and experience of elders, why do we keep getting old guys?
