It seems like you are arguing that
1) The second amendment is no longer relevant and that therefore there is no legal justification for US citizens to keep firearms, while simultaneously arguing
2) no-one is “coming to take your guns”
Can you see how people in favor of gun rights might not find your second argument convincing, in light of the first?
- krapp 5y agoIt appears you didn't read my comment in its entirety. Nowhere did I claim there was no legal justification for US citizens to keep firearms - rather I listed several such justifications. I also never claimed no one is "coming to take your guns," although I do believe that is mostly just right-wing propaganda, and was referring to the propaganda value of that threat as being the only useful vestige of the revolutionary principle of the Second Amendment remaining, because the actual disparity in firepower between the populace and the US military renders the practical utility of it irrelevant.
