RE: Senile Supreme Court Justice Calls For Repeal Of 2nd Amendment, Demonstrates Ignorance Of History
This is irrelevant, unless you think the US is going to Nuke and deploy the army against civilians.
You have no data to make this sweeping generalization, you say it only because it sounds right.
Read the Gulag Archipelago. It puts the lie to your unsupported generalization above.
You lose credibility when you artificially inflate your argument with impossible scenarios. Of course we wouldn't nuke our own land.
At the same time of course we would deploy the army against civilians. That's the whole point. A big justification for the second amendment was so that a militia could be formed to fight against (or even with, if invaded) the government.
Now we have air strikes that can level entire cities and cavalry (tanks) that are immune to rocket propelled grenades and even other lesser tank fire. The second amendment was created when we had horses... lol.
The Gulag Archipelago is totally irrelevant to this conversation. You can't stop a government from being a prison state with guns. We already live in a prison state and if it gets worse an AR-15 isn't going to help anything.
I'd like to point out that you still have no idea what my stance on gun control even is. My only point here is that a civilian militia force stands zero chance of winning any real battle against the government. This isn't an opinion, it's a fact. How could you possibly argue otherwise?
