>The most powerful legal weapon that could be owned in most states? AK-47. What are weapons and tools the military use? 50caliber snipers, machine guns, rockets, grenades, mines, jets with missiles, ac130 bombers gunships, nuclear missiles, drones that shoot guns, drones that shoot lasers, remote controlled mini tanks, regular tanks, etc. You're telling me you as an untrained firearm owner can stop any military weaponry or personnel with AR15s, shotguns, and pistols?
This is so retarded I feel like dismissing it outright, but I'll break it down. He's obviously wrong about the gun ownership where civilians can and own .50 snipers and machine guns

Rockets, grenades, and mines are also ok for civilian ownership, but good luck finding one. Primitive ones are easy to make, but I'd never do that mr ATF. Civilians can and do own surplused military airplanes including jets.

The minute a government nukes their people is when other nations use that as an excuse to attack it. Everything else he mentioned requires lots of infrastructure, munitions, and fuel to maintain and will probably be one of the first things to go if the US government declares open war on Americans.
>The argument that it's a constitutional right: I mean it's not a right to kill a man, but it's a right to own and wield a tool that has immediate power to kill a person? That logic is beyond me. Most things are beyond him
This is a complete strawman because we have a right to self-defense and self-preservation and if in the course of preserving ourselves we kill someone, then so be it. Home invaders, muggers, rapists, etc. have forfeited their expectation of others to respect their rights the moment they engaged in those activities.
>Is killing a part of defense? At that rate, it's called unintentional murder. Murder is still murder.
I covered this just above, but murder is killing without sanction from the state. Killing isn't murder and a good example of this was a law in Missouri until the 1970's where it wasn't considered murder if you killed a Mormon and you would be breaking the law by not killing them. Look up Governor Boggs’ Extermination order.
>making it harder to get a hold ahold of one, on top of a ban, do a lot more work in saving lives? I would think that's an ultimate fix in cutting down our gun deaths vs relying on citizens who are untrained…
No, criminals find other ways to harm just look at acid attacks by kebabs in london or knife attacks. Why do these faggots elevate violence committed with guns above violence committed with any other implement?
>Police who are trained and paid to do that can't even use guns properly.
I've had more range time this month than most cops have in a year.
>it's a lot harder to do it without a tool, especially one as powerful as a gun.
I'm an engineer and I don't need a gun to cause mass mayhem I'm a law abiding citizen plz no bully FBI go find a school shooter to ignore instead
>Guns are completely outlawed in the UK, Japan, Netherlands, etc.
Wrong and it's odd that he picked countries with far fewer shitskins than the US
>…that our rights should never be taken away even if those rights infringe a lot of other things…
Explain how my gun ownership infringes on someone else's rights
>It's just stupid
not an argument
