Dodged what? You made a claim, and your claim was wrong. I even mentioned a recent instance to prove it (Bunkerville). Then you went full on autist, and it became time to consign your vapid spluttering to the trash bin.
my claim is that
guns did nothing to prevent america's decline into an oligarchy, and that it's a silly excuse to justify accepting dead children for a dumb little hobby.
a selfish, racist cattle farmer using his white privilege to avoid grazing fees on publicly owned land is hardly proof of the opposite, how delusional are you, lol? it's one of those "libertarian" half-thoughts, where you look at an issue, don't think it through logically, and arrive at some absurd conclusion that you then pretend fits into your "ideology".
not a single shot was fired (or even threatened) to prevent the PATRIOT act or buckley v. valeo. apparently you don't understand the difference between a group of selfish dickheads using guns for their own profit (usually we call them criminals), and the imaginary power of guns to prevent actual oppressive legislation...
if you actually thought you made a valid point there, and the bundy standoff somehow proves that america is not a de facto oligarchy, i congratulate you for winning this year's mental gymnastics gold medal...
