Is Freedom of speech worth dying for? Is your God worth dying for? How about the right to a trial, and the need for duly sworn warrants?

How about Federalized driving licenses?

When it comes to “fighting” for something, its not about the 2nd amendment. The government does not give us a “right.” That is where all of these people are wrong.

I suspect we will find out soon enough when CW 2 starts.

I agree with everything you said. We have the right to defend ourselves and our families whether the 2A exists or not. However, I think that the point of the article is that so many people look at tragedies such as 9/11, Newtown, Parkland, etc.; and start thinking that we need to stop defending our right to keep and bear arms (i.e. the 2A) in order to be "safe", which is an enormous misrepresentation of the facts.

“What if we chose to regard the 2,973 innocents killed in the atrocities of 9/11 not as victims but as democratic martyrs...”

What if there were no hypothetical questions?
