1.  Because the consumption of life from murder hoses keep eclipsing that of knives (might have something to do with their efficiency, lethality, and ranged effectiveness), so they hog most of the attention.
2.  Probably because the manufacturing, selling, ownership and operation of cars are subject to extreme regulations.  You're on to something here, though: perhaps murder hoses should be as thoroughly regulated.  I also note that the US Constitution includes no mention of the right to bear cars, yet the Big Bad Guv'ment never tried taking everyone's cars away (cue Twilight Zone theme).  
3.  www.Corrupt.af (scroll down) Dear Leader's regime certainly fits the description of a corrupt government.
4.  No, that is the NRA/Republican position (at least, considering their rhetoric on the subject and the state of corruption in Dear Leader's regime, anyway.  Internal consistency FTW).  
5.  I had no idea that corruption/tyranny requires a certain amount of time to manifest.  The 2nd A., NRA and Republican Party certainly never outlined a formal time frame. 
6.  Did they mention how many election cycles must pass before the 2nd A. is a lawful reason for bearing arms against a corrupt/unlawful/tyrannical government?  Or how much time must pass?  The 2nd A. doesn't mention any sort of time frame.

1. Should we regulate those too?

2. Don't give them any ideas.

3. I'm not going to respond to dozens of stories of supposed corruption. 

4. Has the NRA / Republicans come out to say that this was a man rebelling against a tyranical government? 

5. That is because it is not the NRA/ Republican's idea; it predates them both. 

6. Again, the 2nd ammendment was meant to guarantee the right to bear arms, not to give a treatise on when / how a revolution should take place or be justified. 

1 If they somehow managed to compete with the efficiency, lethality and ranged effectiveness as murder hoses and rival their consumption of life---why not?

2 too late.

3 Ignore hundreds of indepently verified instances of corruption if you like.  Unfortunately, ignoring corruption doesn't make it go away. Dear Leader's regime is the gold standard for corrupfion.

4 The topic's victim is a noteworthy member of a demonstrably corrupt government--shooting him fits the long-held NRA/Republican talking point about taking arms against a corrupt government.

5 The 2nd A predates them as well, which is why I mentioned it, and I still see no formal time frame for how long it takes corruption to manifest.

6 Such a treatise would infringe on the right to bear arms.  He took arms--"necessary" for the "freedom" of the "State"--as 2nd A guarantees is his right. No other way to put it: the Second Amendment struck again.
