Do your questions actually have a point, or are you some grungy wannabe filmmaker searching for existentialism through a haze of bong smoke or something?

He may be trying to establish whether you have guts enough to admit you're wrong about 'regulating' our right to bear arms.

Yes. It is the Socratic method of debate. You don't think private citizens have a right to possess nuclear weapons. But you do allow for nation-states to possess them. I'm trying to determine where you do draw the line and why. What is unique about Tuvalu that New York State is not for instance and why it is OK for Tuvalu to possess nuclear weapons but not any government actor inferior to the federal government in the United States.
