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?

Your examples in this post aren't reasonable. Then again, the picture of tanks you posted in the preceding post didn't make sense either. "People need to own guns to protect themselves against government tyranny." - Do you really believe your little guns can stop a batallion of tanks that is accompanied by trained soldiers? Sure, you can fire bullets at the tanks, but real life isn't like a video game where a certain amount of bullets make a tank explode.

Yeah you're right. This obviously explains why dictatorships are well known for letting their subjects own guns.

The first thing Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Xi, ZeDong, etc. etc. allowed the people to do was own guns because what can their guns do against tanks right?

If you give up one right, you give them all up. The reason you have free speech is because America has the right to own guns.

If there is one thing the civil rights movement and the liberation of India shows, is that it´s not the weapons that are the threat to dictators, but rather the will of the people. 

And the last part is just not relevant, since this question is not about giving up the right to bear arms, but rather what weapons people should be allowed to have. For example, your free speech isn´t unlimited, just as your right to bear arms isn´t unlimited. You always give up some parts of every right you have, the important thing is that those limitations should be put into context of how your rights can infringe on other peoples rights, put them in dagnger and so on.
