Delta and United join list of companies to cut ties with the NRA - maybe this truly is the end of gun rights in the US?

1. You only asked "privilege at whose authority", not the methodologies said authority could use.  I never said that an equivalent to the authority would be limited to using identical methodologies as those who issue driver's licenses and auto insurance.  Are you reading things differently than as they are written again?

2. Well, you've gone from what was written to another thing entirely without any logical explanation of how you got there, so your literacy remains suspect.  

3. Good for you.  You still aren't presenting evidence of rational thinking, though.  

4. No, it's not.  The "bandwagon fallacy" is committed when one asserts that the opinion of the majority is valid.  My statement did not reference an opinion at all, let alone appeal to an opinion's popularity as merit for its truth.  My statement was a verifiable fact.  Pretty much the rest of the free world lacks a Second Amendment or an equivalent thereof, yet they are still free.  That fact refutes your earlier claim and it is not a fallacy to point that out to you. 

5.  I never said anything about revolution.  Are you reading things differently than as they've been written again?  Because that has absolutely nothing to do with what I said in point 5.

I'm giving you one last chance to type something coherent.  

1A. So you are suggesting that the American worker acquiesce to the capitalist-controlled state and private insurance companies?   

1B. Again, are you a socialist or not? 

2. Any intelligent discourse involves addressing the implications of what one writes. 

3. So it is obvious to me that you either have some novel definition of "rational" 

4. You are the only person who used the terminology "free world." My original statement was: 

"When gun-ownership is not socially protected the people lack the means to affirm their will outside of the rigged political process. "

5. There are only two options: reform or revolution. 

6. Yet still, you question my literacy? 

1A.  That's how American society is structured, so that's how it would play out.  Sure is a lot more practical an answer than laying out the systematic overhaul of all of American government/society and then using the exact same authority I'd previously mentioned, only with a Socialist State and government-run insurance company.

1B. Yes, I am a Socialist.

2.  For the discourse to be intelligent, one must explain what those implications are owed to and how you reached that conclusion.  All you did was read one thing and assume another.  That's not "intelligent".  Maybe I just unnecessarily hold myself to a higher intellectual standard.

3.  "Based on, or in accordance with reason/logic".

4.  Yes, I did use that terminology, and my statement, specifically because of your above clause that I highlighted in bold.  

5.  I am neither reformist nor revolutionary, yet my statement in 1B is still accurate.  

6.  And your capacity for rational thought.  

You had your chance.  You blew it.  Bye!
