Observations on the anti-gun crowd

[Failzero]

Nope, the first amendment is still relevant.

Absolutely.

There should be extensive background checks on speech, and a person has to show they can handle speech safely.
If they pass the background check, an IQ test should be given before their speech should be allowed in public.

Even Heller recognizes that a militia having small arms is useless in modern day.

I live in Chicago, that's hilarious!

It may well be true today that a militia, to be as effective as militias in the 18th century, would require sophisticated arms that are highly unusual in society at large.

The right to bear arms existed before the Founders had the need for a militia.

There was never a Moment in pre 20th Century America that a Militia was not needed

Iran has no nuclear weapons. Why do you lie?

It doesn't.

I think wanting to have napalm to "play with", in itself says a person can not be trusted with it..

Your fast car analogy doesn't work considering a fast car has an obvious peaceful non-violent purpose. Napalm does not. In fact drive fast enough times and the government will take the right to drive away. Regardless if you kill someone

Why? Farmers use explosives and napalm adjacent materials all of the time. I still maintain my blasting license on the off chance I will need it.

Down in Australia there used to be no explosives controls at all till some idiot used some to blow up the courthouse in Coober Pedy.

Now, the laws are in place, but explosives are used even more to commit crimes.

Laws don't prevent crime. They merely give a legal basis for punishment.

They prevent nothing.

At manafactured napalm is the obvious answer. Fertizer, diesel fuel, gasoline and alcohol all have non-explosive uses. Napalm... not so much.

Napalm is used to clear out dead underbrush and thick timber fall.

There's plenty of countries that have "gun-grabbing laws", ALL of them have fewer violent lawbreakers shooting people.

Provably false by merely looking to our neighbor to the south.
