    But everyone should be able to get revolvers from the Hollywood ACME gun shop; revolver with infinite capacity that never miss if in the hands of a good guy.

    why should we take issue with an opinion that you are unable to defend? tell us why you think that clown is correct-one poster has already demolished his lies such as the bullshit that "the right of the people" is not an individual right.

    can you support any of his arguments given you are proffering him as your proxy? others have already taken his crap apart. He's a statist who doesn't like the fact that those who oppose his socialist political agenda are gun owners. He makes up lots of crap.

    If you are going to tell us to watch the bullshit he spews, you need to be able to argue why his opinions have merit, So far I see a big fat nothing burger,

    I don’t have to “support his arguments” beyond saying I agree as he appears to make sense with his interpretations. It is up to you to counter those arguments

    You think it would apply, but good luck getting any traction

    Twits like Raskin are the ones most likely to cause a widespread insurrection.

    People like him are the worst sort of hypocrite. He's probably too squeamish and effeminate to carry a gun himself but he relies on strong men around him to carry guns for his benefit.

    Just because he managed to get elected does not mean that his life is worth more than my life or my family and friends and loved ones.

    And don't give me that garbage about he faces more threats than the average citizen therefore he needs more protection.... That doesn't feed the admiral's cat when the average citizen finds himself facing a deadly threat..... Because dead is dead no matter who you are.

    I'm just curious if say three violent people were kicking your door in at 2:00 a.m. per se.... Would you rather have a gun to defend yourself or a cell phone and hope for the best?

    It seems to me that some people are so anti-gun that they would literally rather die than defend themselves with a gun if it came down to it.

    But this clown featured in the video would have no problem allowing others around him to defend him with a gun

    most of the MANY gun banners or gun restrictionists i have dealt with over the near 50 years I have been active in the "arm potential crime victims movement" are afraid they would shoot themselves or hurt themselves with a gun. they make laws to deal with people they assume are just like them

    Unless they actually get some Hands-On understanding the ignorant and the fearful probably are more dangerous with a gun.

    It's not like it takes a bunch of expert training, just some basic common sense and the four basic safety rules.... But when people have an irrational fear of a simple object that makes it kind of hard to gain any proficiency or understanding with such tool

    many lefties don't want to accept that they might fail so they want to outsource tough decisions to the government. Saving for retirement, managing their own healthcare and defending themselves-issues they are afraid to accept so they want the government to do it for them

    That way of thinking is simply foreign to me.
    I believe it is a man's responsibility to defend himself and his household and loved ones.

    yeah and you probably don't blame others for your lot in life nor do you expect someone else to bust their ass to pay for what you want.

    Sure as hell don't. I'm not sitting here where I am right now by accident because I spent my entire life arriving at this point.

    He's the type of politician the right was created for. Good thing he hasn't much political control.

    They think because they've never been in a situation where they have to defend themselves it'll never happen. And often they project a tough guy attitude into people who carry guns because that want them to be a certain thing. They picture gun carrying types as wild West outlaws looking for a fight. This is lack of wisdom. I know a great deal of people that carry guns and they tend to be the more friendly and outgoing types.

    I think they watch movies and get ideas from that.

    No one is saying that the 2nd Amendment protects a right to overthrow the government. That ****ing idiotic claim just flushed Raskin's credibility down the toilet.

    For an expert, he sure is stupid, or he's just lying. Either way, only fools would give him any credence.

    many hard lefties like Raskin subordinate their education for their cause.

    It is so wrong that you have to wonder where this sort of thought comes from.

    It's not incorrect. The Bill of Rights helped to legitimize the US Constitution's creation of a more powerful federal government.
