“If the natural tendencies of mankind are so bad that it is not safe to permit people to be free, how is it that the tendencies of these organizers are always good? Do not the legislators and their appointed agents also belong to the human race? Or do they believe that they themselves are made of a finer clay than the rest of mankind?” ~ Frederic Bastiat
To ban guns because criminals use them is to tell the law abiding that their rights and liberties depend not on their own conduct, but on the conduct of the guilty and the lawless.
The Left just has a fundamental problem with “evil”. They don’t think it exists. This is a big reason they hate Christianity, since Christianity is very big on the concept of “right and wrong”. The Left feels threatened by such things. Just yesterday there was a thread here about a journalist who had a problem with JRR Tolkien and his depiction of Orcs as “evil”. For the journalist, this was just pure racism and totally unPC. Orcs are not “evil”, they are just misunderstood.
If there is no “evil” then no one needs a gun. Simple, eh?
There is no guarantee a good guy with a gun can save the day, but there is an absolute guarantee a bad guy with a gun will have his way without one.
Because they’re more smarter than us?
People that think that being defenseless is being safe are not worth arguing with. I often wonder why they would choose to be defenseless, yet they wear a seat-belt in their car... that makes no sense to me.
Don't waste time arguing, just tell them to get lost.
Another reason for 2A is to protect against tyranny.
Few, if any, point out that virtually every country in history that enslaved their people first disarmed them.
The ability to protect you and yours is a legitimate argument, but loss of liberty should be mighty compelling as well.
And have security systems at home and work (those that do work)
Or move to “safer” neighborhoods
Or enroll their brats in “safer” skools
Or shop at “safer” businesses/malls
There is only one thing that works with zombies.

This, I think, is the reason that Trump has zeroed in on Liawatha. The libs can't support her cultural appropriation for fear of losing the support of Native Americans. At the same time the libs can't condemn her for fear of offending all those who "identify" as women, witches, or frogs.
Every tyrant wants disarmed subjects.
To subject society to the false proposition that there are no "bad guys" or "good guys" IS tyranny.

Of course, the Leftists could care less since this does not line up with their ultimate goal of disarming the law abiding populace (criminals will always have a way to get guns).
It is easy. You don’t need to read the long winded article to find the answer.
Democrats/leftists/totalitarians want no possible resistance to their planned tyranny. A disarmed populace is a helpless populace. Therefore their number one priority is disarming the law abiding. Democrats couldn’t care less about crime, mass murders (except for their press arm the MSM to exploit them) your safety, my safety etc. they just want you to be unable to resist them and their beloved thugs in blue.
You call an article with 12 short paragraphs long?
Excellentpoint.
They just want a pre-excuse in place, in case they want to do something evil, themselves.
