Very good...it uses humor, facts, logic and history to make its points.
When anti-freedom folks try to use the Constitution to deny the rights of others, they can't explain why concepts such as abortion (I'm only using it as an example), which has no mention in the Constitution, falls under the "penumbra" of the First Amendment...but something specifically mentioned as a right such as the right to keep and bear arms doesn't mean what it says. WTF?

Then the 1A is only for manually operated printing presses with respect to freedom of the press. Automated presses, nope! Radio reports, nope! TV reports, nope! Internet reports, nope!
Turn their argument right back on them.
^^^This. It's short and simple, and it hits squarely in something that is also important, they understand, and hold dear.
People who hate/fear guns will always be around, the hoplophobes as Jeff Cooper named them. It doesn't matter. If we only had muskets they would be advocating to ban them too.
Believe it or not the Second Amendment wasn't put in place for them though. They're just useful idiots who will always be available for use. The 2A was written for the people who use the idiots, the power hungry statists who don't necessarily hate guns but see them as power and are only comfortable with the government having that power.

Liberal Logic.
The Ultimate Oxymoron..
1st DOES cover ALL new forms of communication except when offensive.
But...
2nd DOESNT cover new "arms"
And...
4th DOES cover new forms of property ( Cars, Planes...Etc.)
The bills of rights consistently refers to the limits of the GOVERNMENT, some how liberals believe " Well Regulated" is designed to restrict the people of a right that Shall Not Be Infringed.

A nit to pick, it is the 14th that it falls under (right to privacy).
But, yeah I get what you are saying and agree.

Unfortunately, you are spot on, john_bud. The arguments that are being presented to infringe the rights of the law abiding cannot be swayed by logic because they are not based in fact. The litany of new legislation that is being proposed at both the state and national level to "address" the horrible event in Las Vegas, have nothing to do with the events in Vegas. As an example, there is a bill being developed to impose a three day national hand-gun waiting period? They only handgun used in his crime was the one he used to preform a self trephining. Same for bills to increase the scope of prohibited people, increase background checks, prohibit private transfers, and add further prohibitions to those with any sort of mental treatment history... none of those things even remotely apply to the latest tragedy. They are just continuing the push to total prohibition of firearms, and logic doesn't seem to matter.
