is literally the only argument I hear from the defendants when gun control is brought up as an issue. Can someone people give me a cogent reasonable argument for upholding a 250 year old document? This is coming from someone who is against gun control btw.

2A is literally the only argument that needs to be made faggot.
Who can enforce gun laws when there are more guns then people in the US? Not to mention, who is going to collect the guns because it's our Constitutional right to shoot whoever is trying to steal our freedom away
It's definitely a problem that stupid people invoke the constitution without understanding why the 2nd amendment is in the constitution. Makes it easier for anti-gun advocates to attack and feel as though they've won the debate.
One of the founding principles of the United States was a belief in individual liberty. People deserve the self agency to defend themselves and their families from people who want to hurt them. My basic premise is that people who wish to commit crimes and violence will have access to guns through illegal means. Therefore, lawful citizens should also be allowed access to guns through legal means in order to defend themselves.
People also deserve the right to defend themselves from the state, though that is a messier topic. It makes sense that a country that was founded on overthrowing an oppressive government wants to keep their weapons. When I make this point, people tend to think I'm a nut who thinks the government is already or currently in danger of turning into a tyranical monstrosity. But even if it is not right now, who is to say in 50 years from now social change will not create a situation where a western state becomes oppressive towards it's own people. Once you relinquish a state-granted right back to the state, you will almost certainly never have it given back.

People make literally hundreds of different sound arguments in favor of the right to bear arms, so if the only one you're hearing is an appeal to the Constitution, then you are just not listening. There's no need to rehash any of the long list of arguments here, just do a damn Google search.
Here's your fucking answer
Bet you'll wish you had gun
Because power doesnt corrupt, power attracks the allready corrupted. Politics are a dirty game and only the most ruthless folks will get to the top... people without ethics or morals; psychopaths. This is why governments have the tendency to go bad as time progresses.
And that is why the people must have the right to defend themselves from said governments. The founding fathers understood this. The right to bear arms is a vital fail safe that keeps psychopaths from usurping everything.
Now they are calling for a semi ban, and some dude just got pulled over in TN with a 308 & 556 ar 80% that is auto capable idk how they know that with out test firing it which I doubt they did

is literally the only argument I hear for allowing sodomite marriage [even though it’s not in the text and guns are]. Can someone give me one good reason besides this why sodomites need to get married? Most normal people are attracted to women and can start families. But with sodomites, all they do is mess up the butts of other men and spread diseases. Why should we call that a marriage? Can someone give me a cogent, reasonable argument why sodomites should be allowed to call what they do marriage? This is coming from someone who wants sodomites to be allowed to marry, by the way.
