7. Once guns "optimized" for killing people became massive best sellers, everything changed.

Military-styled firearms cater to a whole different mindset than traditional guns, and not for the better. But you know that, don't you? You've seen the most recent coverage of the well-armed racist trump goons in D.C., just as the rest of us have. Nice job on the extended "variety of purposes" paper, however. How about an update of that old reliable pro-gun argument: The Second Amendment is NOT about deer hunting, it's about allowing the civilian populace to be armed and protected against the actions a dangerously authoritarian government. You folks used to trot that one out regularly---before trump became the most dangerously authoritarian president this country has ever endured. Have a nice day.
