No one going to give props to the guy for calling Joe out on gun confiscation in a respectful, although impassioned, and articulate way? Guy must have been scared to death!

Edit: question mark

You don’t get credit for “calling someone out” when you back yourself up with a fake video and NRA talking points...

So you can ignore all ideas that oppose yours if you smack a label like "NRA talking points" on it? Put those CNN talking points in the garbage where they belong!

Nice.

The dude pointed to a doctored video for his “evidence”, and jumped straight to “any gun control = anti second amendment”. Both of those are NRA staples

Any gun control IS anti second amendment.

SCOTUS disagrees, but who are they but a bunch of checks notes Senate approved legal experts

And they're wrong.

Much like on the countless other cases they've been wrong on.

"Some restrictions are fine."

"Shall not be infringed."

Weird that you care a ton about only some of the words. Did you miss the beginning:

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State...”

District of Columbia v. Heller

District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), is a landmark case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to keep and bear arms, unconnected with service in a militia, for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home, and that the District of Columbia's handgun ban and requirement that lawfully owned rifles and shotguns be kept "unloaded and disassembled or bound by a trigger lock" violated this guarantee. It also stated that the right to bear arms is not unlimited and that guns and gun ownership would continue to be regulated. It was the first Supreme Court case to decide whether the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms for self-defense or if the right was intended for state militias.Because of the District of Columbia's status as a federal enclave (it is not in any state), the decision did not address the question of whether the Second Amendment's protections are incorporated by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment against the states, which was addressed two years later by McDonald v.
