I believe a government that truly serves the people is obligated to grant civilians the right to bear arms
I want you to present arguments against this stance.
I recognize that:
>the purpose of a firearm is to kill
>punching holes in paper and "plinking" are only afterthoughts
please be civil :)

Why were Arabs and Turks more successful than Persians at conquering Roman lands?

Persians were civilised people who fought honourably, the barbarous Arabs and Turks are not.

Arabs came after the Romans and Persians had beaten the shit out of each other.
Turks were early pioneers of gunpowder.

I've had a bit of an idea that could help put the 'capitalism-vs-communism' meme to rest.
what if we set up an experiment of two "countries", occupying two identical plots of uninhabited land (same size, same resources) and with a population of ~ 3000 volunteers each?
the two countries would be given full sovereignty over their territory and could apply law as they saw fit.
now here's the point of this:
one country would be run as a free market capitalist economy, and the other as a communist state.
we could run this experiment for some 10-20 years and see the results at the end.
the whole thing could even be televised as a reality TV show for funding, sort of like survivor.
what do you think?

well it would depend entirely on how developed this land was to begin with
if they were starting literally from scratch the socialists would certainly win since they can organize as a collective to construct basic infrastructure which isn't possible for the capitalists until enough capital is accumulated to pay for the investment.
oh and would these societies be dictatorships or democracies, kind of an important point

The Third Amendment is made somewhat redundant by the Fourth.

>>2752213
The Second Amendment shouldn't have included a justification. If it's actually a human right, there's no need to explain why, especially in a document that doesn't otherwise contain any justifications.

>>2752290
it's almost like they were particularly weary of being disarmed and so they put extra care into the language to ensure everyone understood it was a god-given natural right.

How much better could you make a medieval knight's equipment using modern materials and methods?
Say if you had modern engineers who had to stick to the basic design concepts (i.e. the equipment being swords, maces, lances plate armor/chainmail) but were otherwise free to apply modern techniques.
I know modern bows and crossbows and such can be made far superior to what they've had back then.

Titanium armor would be borderline invincible to pre-gunpowder weapons, even assuming the weapons were also made out of titanium.

Good luck producing titanium in large quantities. Not to mention making weapons out of Ti is pretty stupid idea.
Were Christians allowed to enter it after it was converted in to a mosque?
Imagine being someone who grew up in Constaninople... you would go there as much as you could since you became aware. Then Turks besiege your society. They conquer it. You manage to survive the massacre.
But you can no longer pray in it. And slowly every single church is converted in to a mosque or munitions storage.
Damn.

The minarets really add to the aesthetic and they treated the place with more respect than the Christians.
