It's like he invented the "you want to own a tank" argument. He thinks himself very clever.
"Clever" is a relative term. In this company, I find myself to be brilliantly clever.

Agreed. Like I said, that's why you lost.
the 2nd amendment doesn't say "weapon". It says "arms".

you lose.

I think this aptly sums up the depth of your arguments:

You do have the right to own weapons. Just not any weapon you want.



These anger issues just solidify my opinion that people like you shouldn't have assault weapons.
Your lawyer tricks don't work on me.

I'll type this really slow so you can understand - Where in the constitution does it mention qualifiers for weapons?

I'm not angry. Not at all. But if you want to believe that to make yourself feel superior, by all means believe it.

It is implicit. Just as it is implicit there are qualifiers on every other right listed in the Constitution.

Once again, tell me any right in the Constitution (other than guns, since you are going to be unreasonable on that one) that is not qualified whatsoever.

Unreasonable? Because I support the 2nd Amendment and you don't?

"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

Where are the qualifiers?

I'll concede that there qualifiers in the other Amendments.

Great. Show me the text in the first amendment that provides the qualifier we both agree exists.

I'll leave that to you, as you're the one who mentioned that qualifiers are implied in every other right listed in the Constitution.
