There are a lot of arguments out there that both anti gunners and pro second amendment folks keep repeating and that just drive me crazy. We need to start making the right arguments!

Example:


Anti-Gunner
You don't need a scary black rifle capable of using 30rd magazines and semiautomatic fire (usually they just claim they are all full auto ) for hunting!


The standard response is about self-defense, hunting and other legitimate sporting purposes. All valid arguments, but they miss the main and strongest point.

But the real answer is .......

"Of course not! The second amendment is not about hunting! It's about being able to resist against and protect our selves from tyranny and oppression from powers foreign and domestic. Primarily our own government should they go to far.

Scary black rifles like the ones our government uses are perfect for what the second amendment exists for! "

We need to argue the bigger picture instead of letting the antis continue to misrepresent the need for our guns. And if you don't believe and armed resistance is impossible to be effective (that's what they want you to believe) just turn in your guns now.



Pro-Gunner
My having/carrying a gun stops crime and helps me protect you!

Whether you OC or CC, I think has an a general effect of carrying guns is lowering crime but does not stop crimes from happening. My having a gun is intended to stop a crime against me and mine, not for the protection of the general public.

At best I'd argue that my having a gun better helps me to protect me and mine against becoming victims should we find our selves in a dangerous situation or crime in progress. It gives me a much higher chance of survivability. If someone else benefits from my having a gun then it's pure coincidence and their good fortune. I am not a sheep dog per say, only to the extent I want to protect my own flock. The rest of the sheeple are not my primary concern. If I can help others, I might, maybe, it really just depends on the situation.

And to those anti-gunners (innocent children are a completely different story) who laugh at the idea that our having a gun is going to protect them , well in a way they are right (at least from my perspective). Because letting them die so that I might escape and live to fight another day is part of my survival strategy. Thanks for the cover.


Are there any other antigun arguments or pro gun arguments that we are not properly addressing?
