> Interesting take. So, your're saying the Founding Fathers made owning assault weapons a right back when there weren't any assault weapons to have a right to own?

Interesting take. Since computers were not invented then your right to free speech would never extend into anything digital right?

> There is absolutely no right, enumerated or not, that gives anyone a right to own assault weapons.

... the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Have fun defining "assault weapon" too. It's a made up term with no actual definition except, "Scary looking gun that makes people with no knowledge of firearms uneasy".

> You 2nd amendment worshipers always take it much further than the amendment actually called for.

Those that give up freedom for what they think is security will end up with neither.

Well, from past experience and recent conversations it's obvious I will not change your mind, and you won't be changing mine. I could continue to copy pasta your rebuttals and give what I would argue are comparable replies. In the end, we'll never see eye to eye. Not sure if you'd be surprised or not to find out that I too own several guns. So I'm not anti 2nd amendment, just view it differently.

The only 2 things I'll say is that 1- I just don't live in fear like you do. And 2- I would love if people put as much effort and passion into helping your fellow man as you do worshiping guns. The world would be a better place.

Take care though. Unlike the guy who was afraid to converse with me, you took the time and explained your argument. I can respect that.

The only fear I have is of a foolish super majority selling out their own rights.

> And 2- I would love if people put as much effort and passion into helping your fellow man as you do worshiping guns.

Claiming someone is worshiping a tool simply because they verbally defend their rights to keep them is insulting. That's just as stupid as claiming someone who argues for being pro choice worshiping baby killing.

> The world would be a better place.

That's highly debatable as the only people who would be disarmed are the law abiding.

Cheers and have a great day!
