Heil-ho, Yas Forums, I want to effortpost on guns because I am special and good, and the reddigrants who’ve invaded Yas Forums are neither special nor good. The Second Amendment reads: > A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed Libtards and neocons argue the 2A in terms of the words of this law, as in “ackshually, well-regulated means…” and “not so, libtard, because in Jackass vs State of Illinois…”. That way is retarded. I will argue using common sense.
> If people lose faith in the government, the only way they can replace it is by bearing arms against their own government Should be self-explanatory. You’re not voting your way out of Xi’s rule in China.
> Because of this, the people must protect their right to keep and bear arms, both as their backup plan in case of tyranny and as a powerful threat to potential tyrants from ever coming to power Just knowing there are a gorillion armed people in your country will put you off your satanic plans.
> Politicians know that, so they will always be motivated to restrict the people’s right to bear arms. Guns hold politicians accountable. Not just tyrants like knowing the people can’t do anything. Even Joe Asshat would feel great knowing he could raise taxes by 69% with no repercussions.
> Because of the politicians’ motive, you cannot have ANY, and I mean ANY, restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms. Politicians will abuse all of them. > They will make a ban on a certain type of gun apply to everything No super assaulty bad weapons? Everything but your granddaddy’s bolt action is a bad weapon. No high-capacity clip magazines? Two rounds is enough for you. Handguns? Those are just for criminals; you don’t need that.
> They will turn any “reasonable” list of people who are not allowed to own firearms apply to everybody Age restriction? Let’s make that 25, over fighting age. No possession by the mentally ill? Ooh, sorry, telling an n-word joke is a sign of toxic masculinity, a mental diagnosis. No possession by felons? If they had their way, Kavanaugh would be in for rape, a felony. Plus, you could just tell your cops to automatically add “felon” to any background check request.
> They will turn any identifying process into a registration, which facilitates a gun ban Obviously, gun registrations are the most direct way to collect a list of names, addresses, and firearms. Background checks, though, are just as good. “John Q. Public, at 1060 West Addison, just passed two background checks. Alrighty, then, two guns on the list, Johnny Boy.” That’s why it’s so clever when the feds made a list of no-no owners, because there is no way to find out for sure if a buyer is one of them without, you guessed it, a background check. This is why there is a requirement for background checks for private sales too, in some states, because otherwise there’d be gaps in the records.

> But in an environment where the right to bear arms is unrestricted, there is the possibility for a “bad guy” to legally get his hands on guns. Therefore, a full right to bear arms can only function in a civilized, well-educated society with hope for the future. Civilized: peaceful, not prone to violence at the first threat. Otherwise, people will buy guns just to shoot each other over crack deals and “whatchu say, wat boi”. Well-educated: knowledgeable about firearms. Self-explanatory. Everyone should go through firearms training in school, but also spend time with guns at home with the family. Hope for the future: a clear prospect of a job, a girl, and a place for your own people. Otherwise you get people (men) who stop caring, check out, and shoot themselves, or have a heated moment at a school.

This is where Yas Forums comes in. American society is fucked, and we all know (((why))). In this garbage place, diversity is diversiting, and white boys are suffering from that. In this country, the American (white) man has no country (because it’s everybody’s), no history (it’s racist), no culture (that’s also racist), no girl (you rapist), no job (done by an immigrant or sent abroad), and no hope for the future (minority by 2040, folks). In this environment, the “American” people cannot sustain gun rights because they will make a massive and perpetual mess of things. Not only will politicians get cleared out every darn day, rendering governing of any kind impossible. They will also clear each other out over drugs, over dem grills, over mo welfayr, over >tfw no gf. Things only work when you recognize guns are the emergency plan, not a lifestyle.

Yes, the 2nd is both an individual and collective right. However, I want to push back against this "armed populace resists tyranny". This is extremely simplistic to the point of being wrong. Where are the 2A folks resisting the tyranny happening now? Where the fuck are they? They are either too lazy, or too scared. Meanwhile, countries that outlawed guns have rebelled. I think more than anything, the 2A is a false sense of security that has given people in this country leeway to just sit on their asses and do nothing.

Here's a much shorter rebuttal to those who argue against the 2nd Amendment as a matter of law.
To summarize: > Guns good for remove gummit > Guns only good when people don’t shoot each other in the meantime

Ok, first off, I don't mind if you have a shotgun or even a bolt action. But what the hell do you need a fucking machinegun for? What do you want, a goddamn raygun too?
