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. |

| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
