the-pi-guy said: I find it funny how many pro gun arguments contradict each other. Guns are simultaneously effective enough to fight off governments, and weak enough that there's no point in banning them, because otherwise something else will be used. I guess using that logic, it's okay to ban guns, because then we can all use knives instead. Guns are also simultaneously super easy for criminals to get their hands on, but gun control is a bad idea because then it makes it difficult to fight off governments. |
A good knife costs pennies on the dollar to what a SIG MCX costs. We could save billions of dollars by issuing our military members knives instead of rifles. I'll bet we'd have kids lined up around the block at recruiting stations around the country if we told them they were going to be fighting wars with knives.
And as far as fighting off governments goes, I wonder how 2A proponents would like it if women used the 2A to defend their abortion rights. Or if Disney decided to use the Second Amendment to protect itself from Ron DeSantis's administration.
