I’m not at all for arguing, conversing about, the ins and outs of what the Second Amendment is, what an Assault Rifle is, how big of a magazine does one need, and so on.
The number one argument is the Second Amendment, period. No hunting, no magazine size, no distinction - it says ARMS, period.
We stand on this or fall to tyranny and we’ll have to decide whether to drag the rest of the sane part of this country in on a conflagration just like our Founding Fathers had to do.
No polite ‘conversation’, no appeasement, no incrementalism - not one bit!
To assist in making the author’s point:
There was no AK used in the Newton shootings.
There was a long gun in the trunk of his car.
All shooting was from FOUR handguns.
The Sheriff and M.E. LIED!
In Aurora, the rifle jammed early and MOST of the damage was done with the buckshot from the shotgun.
The media and LEOs have made this information VERY difficult to find.
The anti-Second Amendment camp’s agenda also is incrementalist. Dianne Feinstein now talks about so-called assault weapons, but we must not forget her openly stated desire to ban all handguns — even revolvers.

“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest. Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’
And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time. So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice.
Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time. My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country.
The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — totally illegal.”

Here’s my conversation. “No.”

This is the only response to the gun grabbers: “If you come to confiscate our firearms, we will kill you. End of discussion.”
The time has come to quit arguing with these anti-gun idiots, and to start turning them into dust.
Step one: stop calling them “assault” weapons. They are just plain old semi-automatic rifles. A technology first developed in the 19th century. You know like with the telegraph or steam powered railroads and back in the day when coal fueled everything and the mysterious, dangerous electricity was first used.
Hit them with the facts: The Mannlicher Model 85 semiautomatic rifle was first sold in 1885 (hence the 85 designation)

Repeat for every lie told.
The NRA needs a mini-seminar on Youtube for reporters & the general public on what is an isn’t a gun, magazine, clip, pistol, rifle, shotgun, revolver, semiauto and full auto. Make it under two minutes. Add a website link with the basic facts laid out and use pictures.
Just publish it as a journalist’s guide to guns (not the funny one) and let public humiliation do the rest. We just need a simple link to it and every anti-gun lie-filled story becomes moot. Bury them in the comments section. Their ignorance is fun. Let’s use it.
