🧵So I’m going to try to put this simply, there is this thing called natural law, you know inalienable rights? The most basic of these is the right to self defense of one, other innocents and their property. (Btw this is where the idea of free speech comes from too)

Then there is this little thing where the founding fathers sought to recognize the existence of this human right. 2nd amendment “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”

Why does the tool used to defend one’s self matter? Its an inanimate object, how an individual uses it matters. Kyle used it to save his life and others, if he didnt have a semi auto he’d be dead, he had to fire 3 shots in .4 of a second.

Also re teenager, are you aware that an 18yr old that can join the military and get issued a state owned machine gun is a teenager? Or that in many states all able bodied citizens 17-50 are automatically part of the unorganized militia

This is why lefties that dont believe in natural law will always try to take what gun rights we have left even after the most clear demonstration of their righteous use, the right falls over these lefties whenever they show a shred of reasonable thought, WAKE UP

Their swords, & every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American. The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people. Tench Coxe

So no, I’m not justifying why we can have ar15s, I’m telling you the founders intent and what we will get back when we restore our natural rights, personal fav is the carl gustav, or biden suggested nukes so maybe a Davey crocket?
