How to shoot down leftist arguments about guns. Make these viral on social media.
-
The “well regulated militia” argument. The left argues that only militias should have guns through deceptive language.
Counter: Research the Dick Act. It clarifies the definition to all adult citizens. This law exists due to a snafu during the Spanish American War. Basically makes ALL gun control illegal.
-
The “only meant for muskets” argument. Lies about the nature of the constitution to try to ban anything that isn’t a musket.
Counter: The constitution was INTENDED as a living document. This logically means that as tech updates, militias update to not fall behind.
-
The “assault weapon” argument. Uses vague and deceptive language to justify banning anything vaguely scary looking.
Counter: The correct definition of assault weapon is the one used by the military. Its a simple yes/no question for weapons designed to be used by 1 person. “Can 1 pull of the trigger reliably kill more than 1 person?”
Example of yes: Flamethrower, M16, grenade launcher, uzi. Example of no: AR15.
