RQAA. Assumption of victory fallacy.
You failed to show me where I was in error despite my request. You lose.

Well, you're right there. Let's just say FEW people agree with you Qanon conspiracy theorists. You are the folks who think there are pizza-based sex rings.
I am discarding nothing. You're just a gullible loon.
Fallacy fallacy. No special pleading took place by T.A. Gardner. Buzzword fallacy.
There was no election in 2020. Congress does not certify the electors. The States do.
The coup by Democrats was successful...so far.
You discard logic.
Get rid of the guns. Make America safer and nicer.
You can get rid of all the guns, but you'll have to replace America with a new nation to do it.
America wasn't designed to be safe or nice.
As for me, I'd rather keep the guns and get rid of all the conservatives.
You are missing the larger point. NO ONE ON THE LEFT says they need guns to keep the government from turning evil.
THe RIGHT has pushed that narrative in defense of the 2A for years now. It is, indeed, why we even have the Second Amendment.
So if you eliminate January 6 as a test case, then you have absolutely NO DATA to support the concept that modern Americans armed only with their pistols and hunting rifles could take on the full force of the US military or that they would have the staying power.

Gun availability to criminals is, in part, a function of overall gun ownership. It is a statistical topic. The more guns in "legal" hands the higher the probability that a gun will be stolen or otherwise misappropriated for the use of criminals.
This may explain why America's extremely high gun ownership rates correlate so well with our off-the-charts levels of gun violence.
Guns were easier to get years ago than they are today. Why do you think taking guns from responsible gun owners will decrease crime?
Maybe you should educate your kids like we were educated so your kids don't shoot kids, like when we didn't shoot kids when we had guns in school?
It isn't just ease of access. Now we have MORE guns in circulation than we did in the past. America has among the highest gun ownership rates and one of the highest rates of gun homicides. Studies REPEATEDLY show this correlation. More guns = more gun violence.
We never had guns in schools. I was raised in the midwest by rational people, not the loons that would allow guns in schools. My dad had quite a few guns and we were taught to respect them. Not play with them at school.
Guess you never heard of the John Brown Gun Club, or Redneck Revolt. I could toss in Black militia groups and other radical Leftists like the Red Brigade in Austin TX as examples.
There's plenty of groups on the radical Left that will use firearms against the government. It's just their version of evil government is different from the Right's.
The radical Left is pushing the same narrative, only you don't hear about it.

This is an attempt on your part to use a reductio ad absurdum argument. It fails.
Riot = Violent action by 3 or more persons without an organized cause. There is no evidence that the mob at the Capitol acted with a single mind. You can see that from the variety of actions they took and the fact that many were simply let into the Capitol building by police.
Insurrection = Violent action by 3 or more persons with an organized purpose to overthrow or refute government as constituted.
As for The People vs. the US military in a internal civil war, ask yourself, what portion of the military would side with those wanting to overthrow the government? What part would refuse to participate? Then ask yourself if the military could last in operations if their network of civilian industry and suppliers weren't supplying them.
In a civil uprising, the general public doesn't have to go toe to toe with the military or police. There are plenty of other paths to rendering the government impotent and overthrowing it. There are alternatives to a purely armed insurrection or revolution as Eastern Europe and the Russians proved against their oppressive Communist governments.
America has more guns privately held than citizens. More citizens own guns than anywhere else in the world (about 112.6 per 100 people). Despite this, the States enjoy a homicide rate by guns of only 4.2 per 100,000 people.It isn't just ease of access. Now we have MORE guns in circulation than we did in the past. America has among the highest gun ownership rates and one of the highest rates of gun homicides.
No correlation, dumbass.Studies REPEATEDLY show this correlation. More guns = more gun violence.
Yes we did. There were even gun clubs in schools. You brought your gun to school for gun club.We never had guns in schools.
They had them in the midwest too.I was raised in the midwest by rational people, not the loons that would allow guns in schools.
No, your dad apparently taught you to be afraid of guns. You have hoplophobia.My dad had quite a few guns and we were taught to respect them. Not play with them at school.
Good point save for one thing: you fail to list how many of these groups have been linked to armed criminal actions....much less a Jan. 6th type action. Other than that you are correct that armed "leftist" groups do exist.
More assholes = more gun violence. Refute that guns were easier to get years ago than they are now. you can't, because they were.
We took our hunting guns to school

Honduras as only 6.2 guns owned per 100 citizens. Despite this, Honduras has a homicide rate of 91.6 per 100,000 people; currently the highest in the world. Source: UNODC

He did address your point, dumbass.Thanks for ignoring the part of my post where I address that very point. I can see "reading" is not your forte
Schools used to have gun clubs. You took your gun to school for gun club. It happened all across the country, particularly in the midwest and western States. Remember, you grew up well after that. Presentism fallacy.I grew up in a hunting community in a podunk rural town in the Midwest. We DIDN'T take our guns to school. I keep hearing gun nuts talk about "taking their guns to school back in tha day" and honestly I have to wonder: what kind of town did you grow up in?
