Great one!

I used that argument on a libtard earlier this week and he responded by saying that the 1A is regulated in that you can't yell, "FIRE," in a crowded theater so therefore the 2A could be similarly regulated. My response.....

"You can't legally shoot an AR-15 in a crowded theater so we're on an equal footing there."

He didn't refute that argument (though in typical libtard fashion he went off on an emotional tangent).

Good response. You could also inform him it is only illegal to yell fire if there is no fire. Gun-control equates to cutting out the tongue of everyone who walks into a theater because they might yell "fire."

Haha ya I've said something similar. You can't tell fire in a public building as that causes public panic and people run and trample each other. My gun at home doesn't cause public panic. The libtard then said, I would disagree lots of people would panic. I replied. No that's paranoia

The musket was the most advanced small arms weapon of the time which directly correlates to AR15s and other semi-automatic rifles.

I saw this yesterday, and have debated putting the text on the back of a t-shirt.

Well that is full of logic and just makes too much sense. Try something more emotional like "IT'S FOR THE CHILDREN!!!!!"

The response I've heard to this argument is "but you can't kill someone with the first amendment"

My response.. "Then why is the NSA building a huge data center in Utah to monitor you exercising your first amendment right"

the musket was (in their terms) the "assault" weapon of that era.

I like this one, especially since I hear the "they only had muskets when the 2nd Amendment was written" argument.

Anyone who says shit like that doesn't understand the purpose of the 2nd amendment. It is to give us the ability to act a a civilian army to fight a government army. The arms we are allowed to have has to keep pace with what the military has in order for that to occur.
