Oh don't worry about it - these people like FTW, ATW, Honey Bear, RL, Bandwagoner, Bigtexxx, Mojoman - they are really the dregs of society - ignorant hateful people who have nothing better to do with their lives than come on here and try to score some kind of internet 4chan type of victory to make their pathetic lives meaningful for a day. They are very unhappy people. To pay attention to them or even be bothered by their ignorance is a total waste of time. Leave them to be in their safe space and butt slap one another as they really do need someone to take their anger out on without being challenged.
I will take it as an especially high insult that you left me off of this list, apparently because you hold me in high esteem. I find this omission very offensive. You have wounded me to the core, sir.

The government is incompetent. That is why I can't trust them with have power over the 2nd amendment.
The "government" is the only reason you have 2nd amendment rights.....so that's kind of a stupid comment.
The only reason we have a government is because of an agreement to keep our right to arm bears. It was a stipulation in the agreement made during the creation of the government
Fair point, but the government is who enforces that right. It's their power that ensures ANY right. Without that government you have no rights.
there are non-governmental means of securing rights in fact, we would be wise to focus on them as social contract is breaking down examples include the Internet, 3D printing, bitcoin
Feel free to move to Africa where they have no real semblance of government. You'll have all the freedom you want.
No the reason why we have American government is because of two large oceans surrounding us and the French. The intent of the founders wasn't what you see today.
Is it your sense the founder's intent was socialism or centralized federal control by executive order or decree?
No ****. Half of them owned slaves lmao. I think Ted Cruz would say that he'd want the US to exist like it did in 1800 which is funny.
Well the federalists won out of the founders so our government is set up to have a strong federal government. Socialism is merely a response to the Industrial Age/technology.
Whether the founders' documents set out to establish a large federal government or were just too impotent to prevent it is irrelevant, really. It's here either way. Only sensible thing to do if you want a smaller federal government is to abolish the constitution and start over.
Off the top of my head, I cannot think of any. It can do some damage, unfortunately. Here's my 2 cents: one is so, so, so much more like to get shot, stabbed, die of cancer, old age, car crash, etc.. Basically *everything* but a terrorist attack. Seriously, it's so low. So quite frankly, even in a city that would get hit more likely, I'm not really going to change anything out of concern for terror. But obviously, what gives it more attention is that it is a foreign threat.
