Pick one and only one.
Also the New Deal was more than just taxing the rich to help the poor. It was about investment in our poor communities and putting people to work in the CCC.

Handguns are as much a problem as semi-auto rifles, actually. More-so because they can be more easily concealed than something like an AR-15. They both need heavy restrictions and/or outright banning.

Because the 2nd Amendment's a feel-good amendment that deludes people into thinking they're John Rambo or some other action hero who's entirely capable of combating any tyranny that takes hold in the US government - tyranny, mind you, that hasn't once taken hold in the over 200 years of our existence.

Thanks to the 2nd amendment.

Here's a thought for you: the US Civil War (from the South's point of view) was to combat government tyranny. How'd that turn out for them?
Now imagine that, today, but with one side having tanks, drones, a navy that's spread across the globe, the most advanced air force in existence, and millions dedicated to the defense of the country, while the other side has what'd essentially be a bunch of disorganized mobs with AR-15s. Do you think that'd somehow go better than how the Civil War went?

I want to ask you a question. Should the workers be armed? Because I think they should. Nobody is going to boss you around when you and all of your friends have guns. They are more likely to listen to your demands
