I Debated A Gun Control Advocate… Then He Brought Up NUKES

In 2021, Newsweek brought me face-to-face with John Rosenthal, co-founder of Stop Handgun Violence, for a debate about the Second Amendment and AR-15s. And one part of that conversation still stands out. Rosenthal argued that AR-15s are dangerous enough to outgun police and contribute to mass shootings. But when I explained why the Second Amendment was created in part to protect against government tyranny, he asked what an AR-15 could possibly do against nuclear weapons, tanks, and B-52s. **So which is it?** Is the AR-15 too powerful for civilians to own, or too ineffective to matter against a modern government? In this video, we revisit that exchange, the historical purpose of the Second Amendment, the distinction between civilian AR-15s and military firearms, and the Supreme Court's landmark decision in *District of Columbia v. Heller*. We also discuss whether hunting, personal defense, and protection against government tyranny should shape how Americans understand the right to keep and bear arms. Because this debate goes far beyond one rifle. **Can the Second Amendment serve as a safeguard against tyranny in a world where governments possess vastly more powerful weapons?** Watch the debate and tell me what you think.
