Massad Ayoob delves into the ongoing debate about the Second Amendment and the AR-15 platform. Mas addresses the “weapon of war” vs. “modern sporting rifle” argument. He highlights the AR-15’s semi-automatic nature. Mas stresses the need for clear language to reach the 80% of open-minded individuals in the middle of this debate. He also discusses the historical context of the Second Amendment, emphasizing individual self-defense as a fundamental human right. Join us in this ongoing discussion on the Wilson Combat Channel as we work to preserve our rights to bear arms.

I live behind the iron curtain, in a duty to retreat state with liberal bias, the state has banned AR 15 weapons, and magazines with capacities greater than 10 rounds. The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals is playing games with Maryland's Assault Weapons Ban by not ruling on the matter. It seems law abiding citizens are not entitled to justice, yet the government refuses to punish juvenile delinquents & criminals.
So well articulated, thank you!
Explain this to joe biden.
The problem with engaging in semantics is the opposite 10% will scream just as loud at the 80% and they don't play fair. They move goalposts and run campaigns to convince the majority of their lies. Fairness is a dead concept and a week of debate is less effective than getting kicked in the face once
The state of Delaware banned AR-15's. They also wanted residents who already owned them, go to state police stations and provide documents that u purchased such weapon before the band. Also they wanted u to be finger printed, and then they provide you a certificate of ownership. They also banned magazines over 17 rounds.

Massad Ayoob brings it to the front better than most congressmen could ever make a comprehensive argument
Come on, civilians have no need for combat weapons. You just want to continue to profit from DEATH.
Americans aren't competent
Enough to handle these kind of weapons.
Well done Massad. You're right on some anti 2A arguments are Chicken Shit
One of the best videos I’ve ever seen you make! This one is a masterpiece as well as a master class on defending our rights.
Massad's logic is too bullet proof. You simply can't argue with his logic.
Do you really need this. What’s gonna happen that would cause us to need it. I would buy it because it’s awesome looking but probably never shoot it. I have a 1911 made in 1913 and a 30-30 made in 1930. Never shot either one, probably never will.
The great Massad Ayoob …..1000%fact…

Founding fathers: this is my puckle gun, it shoots automatically with assist from a rotating arm
It shoots round bullets for Christians and cube bullets for Turkish Muslims
American 3 letter agencies: ah yes, so this means citizens should have no right to such weapons, also we should mass immigrate Muslims, Africans, and Chinese into America, this is clearly what the founders wanted!
All of my weapons, knives, bats, hands, feet, phillips screwdrivers, kitchen chairs, firearms etc. are DEFENSIVE weapons.
Well explained, Mas.
Mas is da MAN! Repetition key to learning. This ICON has the reps!
"Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on who to eat for dinner; liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote"
I live in a south Texas county most elected officials run as democrats because hey, their fathers and grand fathers were democrats. They own cattle, they hunt deer, they own AR-15’s. They do not share the beliefs of the democrats on the national scene yet they run for local office as democrats. Case in point, Trump won the county popular vote in 2020….
Every book Mas has recommended I have read. I now automatically purchase these books, I have never been disappointed. Great information. Thank you Mas!
Grow some balls and say it, we the people (any of us) should have access to any modern fire-arm.
The AR-15 is a superset, and thus includes the M-16 and we should be able to own those as well.
Essentially all workable firearms types have been used as a military weapon, it just depends on which war. Lever action tube fed rifles were state of the art in the US Civil War. Even such oddities as a Drilling were used militarily, by the Luftwaffe as a survival weapon.
AN AR-15? As in…..only one? Ooops
When the AR was first introduced, you could purchase one through a catalog like Sears. Boy, would the gun grabbers go nuts if they were informed about this nugget. When the Second Amendment was ratified, muskets were 'weapons of war,' therefore, I have no problem debating people on the issue. Also, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights do not give rights to the government, but to the people. It explains how the government is to be structured, it does give rights to the people, not to the government. I recently debated an individual about ammunition and whether or not it would be included as part of the Second Amendment. Their position was 'you have the right to guns, but not ammunition.' I explained that didn't make sense because it would be like saying the First Amendment, there is the right to a free press, but not paper and/or ink. To my disbelief, they agreed with me. Since the First Amendment didn't specify ink and paper the government can restrict your access to these items. I swear, you can't make some people's total stupidity up.
Commentaries on the Laws of England actually. And law schools don’t care about it anymore regrettably. Thanks Mossad for all you do.
Another great critical mass video
That's got to be the worse hair piece I've seen
also i respectfully take objection to the idea that one has to be of the same intellect as a supreme court justice. perhaps it is a bit of a flaw in our system that court justices have a say so on paramilitary matters when there knowledge of military matters doesn't have to evolve while warfare is evolving rapidly and has been for 100 years.
wait if it's not a weapon of war then how does it empower an individual against a tyranny with weapons of war?
Excellent video, but I have no faith in the US Supreme Court. At least half of them are idiots . . . wait, no at least half of them are demonic. There is no such thing as gun rights. That is a term control freaks like because it takes away how we really need to think about this issue. It is not gun rights, but human rights! It is God that has granted man with freedom. Freedom to defend against forces that want to enslave man.
Assault is an action, NOT A WEAPON
Fact is Americans dont trust their government and wont turn in their guns no matter what law they pass
