"They will take away your Second Amendment" I know we're numb to everything now and so deep into the land of LOL NOTHING MATTERS we've lost our place on the map but take a moment to reflect on how fucked up this sort of inflammatory bullshit is in the wake of a school massacrehttps://twitter.com/politico/status/967069286710808576 …

Okay, now explain the limiting principle. Because you just banned virtually every rifle and handgun in the United States other than revolvers (which generally operate like semi-automatics in reloading through revolution of the cylinder, so you'd have to ban them too).

Which means that without a limiting principle, you banned virtually every weapon in the country, and now I'm supposed to feel that you're not threatening my Second Amendment rights?

Thanks for letting me keep my circa 1915 bolt-action rifle, muzzle-loading musket, and pump-action shotgun, though (although I get the feeling that the pump action shotgun wouldn't be long for this world).

The Second Amendment is to deter tyranny. Muzzle-loaders can't deter tyranny anymore. Semi-automatic rifles can. Nobody seems to understand this.

Is that actually true today? I understand there's an argument for this being the case even as recently as the 70s, but I'm skeptical (but ignorant) of whether this could be true now.

Ask any experienced soldier whether they'd rather try to pacify a town where citizens don't have rifles, or a town where citizens have rifles.
