Because taxation existed prior to income tax. Hell even in the US income tax existed prior to the war despite the common myth it didn't. This is different from legislstion that isn't very old, has little precedent, and is not mandatory for the state to function.


Different entirely. Next.

So Comrade's argument is that even though it can be cited over and over that things which are given a utility and increase the power of government are harder to get rid of, the case of making a massive, unexplained and unaccountable list of people and stripping them of their 2nd amendment rights without due process just hasn't been done before, and therefore is different, and therefore there's not evidence that this would conform to any example you could cite.

Nice straw man Phillip.


I'll respond properly when I'm not on my phone but ex's Socratic method is already evidence he's on the defensive.

Well if you'll reject any similar but not quite the same situation as "different", and this exact scenario hasn't been done before, then demanding evidence is just a bullshit way of saying "But what if this somehow goes differently than how it observably always goes?"

Your chance of being in a situation like that is very slim but not totally impossible. The victims who are not killed outright also become the first responders. Ever give any thought on what kind of first responder you may be if necessary? I bet all the sheep waiting in line to be slaughtered Probably wished they had a gun.

we didn't get mad at them for bombing nusra
