The latest school shooting led some pro-gun politicians to speak out against the AR-15. "I have hunted all my life," Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., said on the Senate floor Thursday. "But an AR-15 is not for hunting. It's for killing."
1) Bill Nelson is NOT a "pro-gun politician".
2) The purpose of the Second Amendment is not limited to, or even primarily about, hunting. It's main purpose is to insure that the people have a contemporary means to exercise the right of self-defense and to serve as a deterrent to tyranny. |

| He loses all credibility when he starts talking about hunting without killing something and says the AR15 is "massively powerful". From there it all goes downhill. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
