I know a lot of people have warmed to Dershowitz since he backed Trump on many legal and other matters.

Alas, he remains an abortion-loving, gun-hating leftist.

Although safety is an important issue, it’s not the only issue. An isolation cell in a maximum security prison is extremely safe. Do you want to live there?

I thought this guy was supposed to be smart. Can’t he just look at other countries without any type of 2nd amendment and see what absolute criminally infested shyte-holes they are?!

When gun Prohibitionists talk, I point to prison.

You would THINK that Prison would be the safest and most crime-free place on the planet…no drugs, no weapons, no booze, people living in cages with only the police armed and ready.

"I thought this guy was supposed to be smart."

Intelligence is relative and contextual. Angelic beings possess intellect far beyond any human and have been gathering and processing knowledge from the moment of their creation, and yet a full third of them still thought rebelling against an omnipotent God was a good idea.

“Free Press founder Bari Weiss will moderate the debate.”

I’ve never seen an actual conservative moderate a debate.

“Safer”??

Before, during, or after the civil war?

Fact: According to DOJ crime statistics, guns prevent an estimated 2.5 million crimes a year or 6,849 every day. Most often, the gun is never fired and no blood (including the criminal’s) is shed.

Doesn’t matter what he thinks. We HAVE the second amendment and we aren’t giving it up. After the communist BLM abs antifa riots, at least 45 million foreigners living in America, after Dearborn, after feral black depredations on white people, with mass release of criminals during covid, with the FBI turned woke and criminal, with the militarization of the police, with the authoritarian government actions during covid, with democrats openly calling for the elimination of the white race, with 750,000 trannies created in the past decade, with gold over 4000 and the dollar crashing, with DC waiting to shoot Tomahawks into Russia and planning their way with China… and with discussions of bringing Gazans to America… NO. WAY. IN. HELL. do I give up my guns, no matter what law they pass.

The second amendment does not give me a right to firearms, it recognizes my pre-existing god-given right as a human being to have effective means of self-defense.

Dershowitz can go back to Epstein island. He’s a snake and I don’t trust him.

Not to mention the transsexuals and homosexuals are shooting up schools, stores, malls and churches every couple of weeks.

No Alan. I’d like to see this prick talk about gun control and argue against someone who lived in a Jewish kibbutz on October 7th and escaped. It was extremely difficult for settlers to get firearms, and very strict ammunition restrictions. Fly an October 7 survive around and have them stand there and debate him.

I object to this entire debate. Everything debated and discussed eventually happens. She should’ve never even participated in this debate moderators by a liberal

Dershowitz may support abortion and be against the second amendment but he supports our Constitution. He would argue in court against abortion and for guns if he thought they were a constitutional right. Just like he has represented very unpopular or hated people because in this country they have a right to have representation. He has received a lot of grief from the left for his honesty.

Its safe only from one perspective. If a fire breaks out you’re trapped, not safe. If no one feeds you, you die, not safe.

If Americans ever become that damned weak, the nation deserves to fall. BUT -- I suspect that they ("real" Americans, anyway) are NOT that damned weak, which comforts me no end. IMHO, 2A is the trump card of We The People. The "court of last resort", if you will.

The Constitution is not about “the common good”, it is about individual liberty. And Dershowitz can never be trusted.
