You fail to understand the dynamics, you don't have to take on the Government in open warfare to ensure freedom. But a disarmed populace has no means to protect themselves. Catalonia should be a lesson for everyone. People trying to do something as dangerous as voting are assaulted by Government troops.
Well now we've gone into the if we can't have unlimited second amendment rights then we should just disarm. That's not what the current situation calls for either. The LV shooter had 10 automatic and semi automatic rifles and hand guns in a hotels without any checks. I don't think too many rational people think that type of arsenal is an acceptable risk for public safety. If you're a supporter of the second amendment how could you really support allowing people to build up caches of weapons like that?
The 2nd amendment is not there to protect us from just burglars and for the occasional hunter. It's there to protect us from our government or a military style invasion of another government.
Did he honestly have automatic weapons? Do you have a link to something stating that as fact? The reason I ask is that in order to get an automatic weapon, it requires a significant jumping through hoops. Additionally, firing an automatic weapon from that distance wouldn't be very effective.
Yes, but with caveats. It's important to understand that the right to own a firearm isn't what protects you from the government. The government has much better weapons and many more soldiers. It is the armed populace that makes the government think twice, because the whole of the people, armed, provides a check on the government.
Actually, she had two chances. Once in 2008, and once in 2016 and lost twice. Maybe the third time will be a charm especially since- apparently- we owe her.
