Apparently he doesn’t get the errors and inconsistencies in his arguments. Every place that enacts strict gun control experiences an increase in violent crime rates. Well duh! Criminals quickly realize their victims are now far less likely to be able to defend themselves. Gun control isnt about safety, because it makes us less safe. It isnt about guns because the criminals will still have guns. It is about fascist like control, and only about control of law abiding citizens.

While what you say is true, you didn’t go far enough with your argument. You did not boil it down to the bare essentials of the 2nd Amendment. It is not about deterring criminals. It is not about hunting and shooting sports. it’s not about collecting.

Purely and simply, the 2nd Amendment is about the people’s ability to resist tyranny. Everything else listed is just an ancillary benefit of the people’s ability to throw off the yoke of oppression when need be.

So, any attempt to curtail 2A rights is an attempt to promote the government’s ability to enforce it’s will contrary to the rights of the people.
