This seems like the smart path to me. Make it unequivocally clear no one is coming for the guns people already have, then stop the manufacture and sale of more of them. Slowly, over years, you then incentivize people to sell them to the government for destruction.

What's the deal with this guy?

Weird that he is charged with sharing a video, but not making terroristic threats. In my world, the opposite would be true. What kinda assbackwards operation are you running down there? Does no one know how free speech works anymore?

“degrades or dehumanises or demeans any person”

That seems a little vague for a national law. What is the legal threshold for “demeaning” someone? Cannot you not make video calling religious people stupid?

I've only heard of this being used in terms of objectionable material - not name calling.....

No one's talking about taking away anyone's rights. Stop this bullshit argument. There are already TONS of restrictions on the second amendment. It's common fucking sense.

I'm not really an absolutist on the subject. I stop short of supporting personal nuclear weapons. Though that would probably be an infringement on the second amendment. I guess I'm a hypocrite after all.

What if I built my own nuclear weapon in my garage? You support big government taking away my hand-made property, you goddamn commie?

I wouldn’t try to sway you. This country moves forward whether the outliers want it to or not. History is littered with such folks.

In my kingdom, you'll be able to get drunk, shoot guns and gay hug at the same time. Pure freedom.

Now apply this to the first.

Maybe Miller is dead at this point, but to me the simpleton, it prevents any significant restriction of semi-auto rifles, as they are patently the most appropriate weapon for the militia.

Oh the militia argument. Good luck with your AR-15 against weapons the military has that you’d probably never see or hear as they unleash death upon you and the militia bros.
