You need to start off by asking some questions to find out where he really stands on the issue. That statement was too neutral to go on the offensive.

On the face of it, that statement doesn't appear problemTic.
But we need context OP. Is he one of these, "I support your right to have a gun for hunting, but nobody needs an AR-15", types? |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
He's naive in thinking SCOTUS/POTUS can't take away your right. They have and will continue to "regulate" the right into non existence. Through a combination of incrementalism and stare decisis they can whittle a right into a privilege and then make it vanish altogether. Then again, under a declared national emergency (NDAA '12), the POTUS may order the following: Confiscation of fyre-ahms & boolits confiscation of all food confiscation of all fuel and energy sources confiscation of labor for forced labor. Hey, they can take anything they want under the NDAA '12. |

I need a response to the following post: "I've wanted to say this for a while, but today someone posted a very disturbing photo of a mother hugging her child before both were executed by a Nazi soldier, for being Jewish. The tag line was: this is what happens when the government confiscates your guns. "I guess many of you slept through, or skipped government classes, but this thing called the 2nd amendment guarantees your right to bear arms. And unless 2/3 of BOTH houses of Congress AND 35 states vote to amend or remove the 2nd amendment, it CANNOT happen. Not POTUS nor SCOTUS nor anyone else can take away your right to own a gun." FYI: Even tho I've known this guy for 40 years, I will unfriend him when I am finished rebutting him. Tell him to come on up to NY & try to purchase an AR type rifle or handgun! |

He just needs educated on the fact that the second part of his thesis is fallacious as that's what a ton of laws, regulations and Executive orders have already done. OP, preface your reply with, "I agree with you except for the infringements that have already occurred", then lay out some of the more egregious ones like the SAFE Act and the assault weapons ban. He seems to be one the right track....but ignorant of the facts. Help him to understand.

Haven't seen clarification from OP. What was posted in the OP is correct. However, it is also untrue, because the government doesn't abide by the law.

I'm confused, that post seems to be supporting the second amendment. Are you wanting to convince him that the .gov has actually already limited it a good bit? Yes. And there there is the Safe Act. |

There was no context other than his post would cost him "friends." I told him he was Polyannish to think that no one was going to confiscate our guns. It is happening. The other part is his belief that we can have our rights taken away from us legally. What part of inalienable does he not understand? |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Just tell him that: The powers that be are doing whatever they can to limit the interpretation of the second amendment to the point of making it meaningless. Every time someone goes nuts with a gun, the media, the progressives and all of their fellow travelers try to use the emotional upwelling to further restrict the Second. Make no mistake, their end goal is disarmament of every American. They're willing to chip away at the Second every chance that they get until we're so worn down that we give up and let them dispose of the Second Amendment altogether. They've been chipping away at that it since 1934, and its up to those of us who care about our civil rights to remain vigilant. The picture of the Jewish mother and child being executed was to remind you of the stakes. Hard to beat this. |

CSB. Hope your friends on here that you seem to want to impress are close enough that you can afford to casually trash a 40 year friendship over an ambiguous post.

He continues to deny that law-abiding persons are being stripped of previously legal firearms in NY, NJ, MD, etc. Outlawing possession is tantamount to confiscation. I've given him evidence and he says that if it was true he would see it in the news. I don't need idiots as friends. |
