Just a reminder that those who seek to disarm you are not your friends.

    You know why I hate reading conservative news? Because if I wanted to read a fiction, I could do literally anything else with fiction and be happier for it.

    The argument is in the first paragraph:

    • MLG unilaterally suspended the 2nd Amendment
    • Nothing stopped her from doing it. (this bit is implied)
    • Therefore, nothing will stop MLG and her defenders from suspending all the amendments.

    So, the articles just takes that stupid argument and runs with it

    Does that include the Nineteenth Amendment giving women the right to vote?

    How about the Thirteenth Amendment that abolished slavery?

    The logical implication is that MLG and her defenders will reinstitute slavery and suspend women’s suffrage.

    Be afraid! Your country is under attack!

    Except the local sheriff said he wouldn’t enforce it, a Senator implied he didn’t support it. That is, the implied premise is violated, and therefore, the conclusion, on which the rest of the article is based, doesn’t follow. But it’s asserted like it is, and is pure fiction and removed from reality.
