Problem is the airbag speaks to airheads and they agree him! That's the battle we face.Originally Posted by Yogi223

Maybe I have a weak point but I have never heard anyone counter, the why do Americans need assault weapons question, with the something along the lines of why do "you" need a 4000 pound, 450 horsepower vehicle to haul your 40 pound child to soccer practice. Which part of the Constitution covers the right to keep and bear SUVs? Just a thought!
Array
In a couple of private conversations my rebuttal has been that I alone am responsible for the protection of my family and my property. No one, including the POTUS, Piers or the police can evaluate the hazards (perceived or real) for me and to prescribe the weapon or method that I should use. I concede that exsplosives, automatics and tanks can't be in my arsenal but that is the limit of my concessions.
Array
Ahh but automatics CAN be. Just gotta pay the $200 stamp and the BIG price tag on one.
I think Ben did a great job dealing with that idiot... It wouldn't bother me one bit to read Morgans Obit.

What amazes me is the fact that Morgan hasen't turned his "Redcoat" and run all the way back home.
He gets beat up in the media every day it seems.
He sure must be a glutton for punishment.
If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.

I've seen this video, and have been discussing it so many different places online, it's hard to remember which conversation was where.
Shapiro did a top notch job of exposing Morgan as a bully. I liked how he used the 'children in Chicago' to show the holes in his argument. If he really cared about murdered children, then what about the kids in Chicago? Why not ban handguns, too?
Where I differ from Shapiro was his agreement for more background checks and a national registry. I found it ironic that he mentioned his ancestors being ashes in Europe because of their lack of arms, but was in favor of a registry which led to the confiscation of said arms.
He articulated well that the founders put the second amendment in to arm the people against a tyrannical government. But with more background checks, how are those same people going to get permission to buy those weapons from the same entity that is trying to disarm them?

I agree. What amazes me is that he and others are constantly comparing us to Britain, and sound like they want the US to become more like Britain.
Don't those fools realize that we tried to get away from that centuries ago?
My family got out of there in the 17th century, why in the name of all that's sacred would we want to go back to that mess?
Want to see what progressiveness looks like after 3 centuries? Look at Britain. It's considered a crime to defend yourself there, and you must submit to the whims of criminals...
Plfbbbt they probably still think the war was over tea

It's because he's not welcome in Britain. Everyone hates him over there for many of the same reasons as here.
Array
i think he did an OK job
at the end of the day you will never change a liberal anti gunners mind
UNLESS
he/she have a horrific event happen to them by a bad guy that makes them want to protect themselves
I was one of them till I got myself to the gun range and started poppin paper and I was hooked , 40 guns later
I classify myself as a gunner :)
