ALL GUNS ARE VERY LETHAL
Simplistically, the relevant types of guns being discussed are: assault weapon, AR15, hunting rifle, hand gun, flintlock. Assault weapons historically referred to the weapons used by soldiers which today would have one key differentiating characteristic: automatic fire. Automatic fire means that the gun will repeatedly and rapidly shoot, 12+ rounds per second, with just one constant pull of the trigger. The most common rifle owned today in the USA and one surrounded by controversy is the AR15. AR15s physically resemble assault rifles, fire a similar high velocity bullet BUT have a key difference; semiautomatic fire. Semiautomatic guns shoot once with each pull of the trigger and can fire as rapidly as one can pull the trigger which might be as much as 3 times per second. Hunting rifles also fire high velocity bullets and can be semiautomatic or bolt action. Bolt action guns require the shooter to physically handle the bolt to reload the gun and can fire as much as 1 round per second. Hand guns typically fire lower velocity bullets and for the most part are semiautomatic with a small number of revolvers. Revolvers can fire with each pull of the trigger, maybe up to 2 times per second, but due to a different mechanism are not considered semiautomatic. For comparison, flintlocks, the typical guns at the time of the constitution fired a bullet with a bullet velocity similar to a handgun and could fire 1 times per 20 seconds. ,
It should be noted that it would be extremely difficult to shoot semiautomatic guns accurately on target at the maximum rate and difficult to shoot automatic guns accurately on target.
"ASSAULT WEAPON" BAN HAD NO MEASURABLE EFFECT ON GUN HOMICIDES
While it seems clear that throughout the world and most of recent history most societies recognize an individuals right to self defense, it is only in the US where this right has developed to include the right to own a gun. However, given that the US is unique in individual's having the right to own a gun for the purposes of participating in a potential militia, the US is unique with widespread ownership of guns and, as a result, it is reasonable that having a gun for self defense is justified. In 2004 SCOTUS made this ruling clear.
CHATGPT: What are the arguments that a US citizen has a right to self defense?
In addition to the Second Amendment, many states have "Stand Your Ground" or "Castle Doctrine" laws that allow individuals to use deadly force to defend themselves if they believe they are in imminent danger of death or serious bodily harm. These laws generally remove the duty to retreat before using deadly force and provide legal protection to individuals who use such force in self-defense.
Moreover, the right to self-defense is considered a natural right that predates any government or constitution. This right is recognized not only in the U.S. but also in international law and is considered a basic human right.
Overall, the argument for the right to self-defense is based on the notion that individuals have the inherent right to protect themselves and their loved ones from harm and that this right should be protected by law.

King Biden’s Executive Order to force the switching fron internal combustion engines to electric vehicles will cause a massive negative economic disruption with little to no positive effect on the climate. [MAJOR QUESTION DOCTRINE]
There is no specific legislation requiring this. Congress is responsible for forming the laws of this country. Congress is not allowed to delegate its authority to the Executive Branch. [NON-DELEGATION DOCTRINE]
Article I, Section 1: All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
King Biden should be stopped by SCOTUS.

From the beginning Biden has continued to dither in his efforts to stop Ukraine. Initially he actually stopped providing Javelin anti-tank weapons started under Trump to avoid “provoking” Putin. He then minimized a “minor” incursion. Next, instead of arming and encouraging Ukraine, he offered a ride out to Zelensky. Zelensky’s response: “I need bullets not a ride.” Then over the past year, he has only stingily increased the numbers and capabilities of weapons provided to Ukraine and STILL refuses to offer jets, long range artillery, significant armor and other weapons systems that would help Ukraine.
Exacerbating the problem, Biden has been unsuccessful in leading the world to stop Putin. Most of the world is not helping. Small, ex-Soviet countries are providing more support for Ukraine than the US and most of Europe, especially the large, developed countries, are far behind in their support.
Where is Biden’s leadership?
Despite having to fight with one arm tied behind their back, only the heroically brave fighting of the Ukrainians combined with the inept performance of the Russian armed forces have stopped Russia from being successful yet. However, Russia has more men, more money and more weapons than Ukraine and continues to make incremental advances.
The result is the continued destruction of Ukraine and the deaths of 10’s of thousand of Ukranians.
Putin needs to be stopped.
Biden needs to lead.
