I don't care if it's needed or not. The state should not have a monopoly on violence. Under No Pretext.

Liberals, and I count myself as one, always bring this "need" argument. Meanwhile, there is no other right where they would question need.

I have shitloads of guns I don't "need". The vast majority are for fun. Even the more practical guns are mostly for fun.

Know why? Because I can do that if I want to. The 2A exists and the courts have historically upheld it. That's one sentence, two facts.

While we're at it, let's question why the largest gun purchasing demographic "needs" guns. Ya know, women, minorities and LGBT folks. Go ask them.

Also, "The fascists are coming! Disarm yourselves! And if it's not too much trouble, we'd like the government to know exactly who owns what." (In case Trump wins again!?)

Great! Nukes for everybody!

Well I want a tank

If you ever watch the movie Oppenheimer, it used used a lot of poetic license. You know where he was when the bomb went off? In a tank, with extra steel. He motored out to ground zero and remotely took a soil sample.
