      So coming back to your original point, the mere act of owning a firearm doesn't infringe on anyone's freedom from 'tyrannical actions of the individual' or violence. Because violence requires action. You can't just say "the potential of harm is just too high"

      By that logic, owning a nuke doesn't infringe on anyone's freedom either. Would you be in favour of everyone having their own nukes?

      Indeed it doesnt. "Nukes" is a rather extreme argument though isn't it. I don't think people should own nukes and the issue is, for me, accountability and justifiability not that it's a weapon. The personal use of nukes isn't justifiable. [YET].

      One could also argue that allowing all humans the freedom to communicate online is pitentially as destabilizing as nukes. Total uninhibited connectivity leads to massive increases in existential risk. Shall we ban the Internet? These arguments are not practical.

      False analogy. Unfettered communication yields huge benefits and minimal existential risk. Unfettered weapon ownership yields little benefit and huge existential risk.

      lol. This is why this is pointless. You naively assert little benefit by decree based entirely on your own biases. The whole point is that many people believe that weapon ownership yields a great deal of benefit. One might even draw a correlation b/w the 1/2 amendments...

      And argue that one reason why your own nation is rapidly losing its ability to speak freely is because your government in no way fears its people.

      And before you go down the route of “guns don’t do anything against the government” route, consider how well the US is armed compared to Iraq, and meditate upon the game theory of asymmetric warfare for a bit.

      US involvement in Iraq is hugely limited - nothing like an assault on home soil would be. And the govt is careful to avoid civilian casualties so tempers its power. If it were set on tyrannising its own people, it'd have no such restrictions.

      That is the most motivated reasoning I’ve ever heard. The cost of tyranny within an area that’s decently armed and willing to fight back far exceeds that of a complicit populous trained to behave.

      Firstly, it would be impossible for a tyrant to realistically emerge in the US due to separation of powers. Secondly, if a tyrant were to somehow emerge, *and* have full support of military, what would an AR-15 possibly do against a F-22?

          Ok, so you apparently haven’t been witnessing the dissolution of separation occurring over the past 30 years. And how much do F-22s cost to operate? And how likely is their use to trigger increased resistance and insurgency? Ya gotta think these things through...

          A first line of civil defense establishes a hedge against initial escalation. If that weren’t true, we’d already have extremely strict gun laws like many other countries that didn’t possess cultures of armed self-defense and a philosophical history of institutional distrust.
