So you’d like the state to be the only ones allowed to own lethal weapons? I’m sure that will work out great for everyone who’s not a member of the ruling party
In this corner, we have The Ruling Party, armed with a Predator drone carrying laser-guided Hellfire missiles targeted from three miles away using IR imaging! And in the opposite corner, we have Jim Jimmy-Bob Roberts, with his daddy’s AR-15, loaded for bear with, yes, three full magazines!
I tell you Sam, I’ve got a good feeling about Jimmy’s chances tonight, he’s definitely got pluck. But before we start the fight, a word from our sponsors…
You do understand that starting a civil war means that hellfire missile is also blowing up the neighbors house as well and they might have been sided with the ruling party? You need boots on the ground to patrol and take territory, a drone cannot do that.
No. But, if we are going to allow guns in our society, I want everyone who has one to have passed a thorough class and passed a comprehensive test on gun safety and usage. Further, I want anyone who later demonstrates failure to exercise the lessons taught in those classes to be charged with criminal negligence and lose their right to own a gun.
This asshole had to take a test to get a license to drive, but the most he likely had to do to get a deadly weapon is swear that he’s not currently using drugs, and show that he hasn’t been convicted nor currently being charged with certain violent crimes.

That must be why the US invasion of Afghanistan was such a success and achieved all of their goals in a timely fashion.

Do Vietnam vs the US next. Or the Taliban. Or any other time a guerilla force defeated a military with superior firepower.

Literally no one is saying that, but gun enthusiasts have no argument without their straw-men.
Doesn’t seem to be helping the US at all.
