If he owns the gun because he thinks it makes him safe, it is not very good at critical thinking. Better he should move. A gun won't keep you safe just like a mote of alligators won't keep you safe.
I can't argue with that.

That would be one thing, but moving costs more than a gun.

How many alligators can you get to dance on a grain of sand?

You have to specify the size and shape of the grain of sand........

Except for the parts that are no longer beautiful. Like the fugitive slave clause in Article 4, clause 3. An amendment finally adopted in 1865 outlawing slavery. Do you think this and all the other amendments were mistakes?
The Constitution of the US is not perfect. It was a series of compromises and has been evolving over time as it will continue to evolve. There is nothing "timeless" about it. I expect in a couple more hundred years it will be modified a great deal more. Hopefully the the electoral college will be abolished in the near future. "One man, one vote" needs to be used to elect the President.

While the difference between a prison and a jail isn't as extreme as the difference between a prisoner and a jailor there is a difference.

So you believe the SCOTUS rulings of Obama's terms in office were all "fake rulings"? If what Obama did was illegal why didn't the SCOTUS deal with him? Obviously you don't believe in the rule of law.
Interesting that when ever something truthful is said about Trump the cry is "what about Obama"? A fried was a kid and his step-sister (who didn't like him much) was being reprimanded by the dad for having been caught with pot in school. She turns to my friend and said, "But John was eating M&Ms!!!" That's you, Trump is caught with pot in school and you are crying out about Obama's M&Ms!!!

No. In other words, you're ignorant.
Jails are operated by city or county law enforcement, and you can be kept n jail for 72 hours with even being charged. You can't be sentenced and put to death, in jail. Jail sentences are short.
Prisons are run at the state or Federal level, and require you to be convicted of a crime, then sentenced to prison. Prison sentences are longer, up to and including life.
Short military lockup is referred to as 'The Brig' or similar terms. That is for drunk drivers, fighting or other minor crimes.
I was arrested while in the Army because a civilian had listed the wrong vehicle codes on my military driver's license. A couple phone calls by the head of my section revealed that almost half of the the soldiers in tech fields had invalid license for the same reason, so I never saw a cell, and the charges were dropped. I was driving the same bucket truck that I had taken the test in, yet the idiot still claimed that I was not qualified for that class of vehicle.
The original issue was that I ran a top sign. I told the MP I didn't see a sign. He pulled back a lot of branches on an big evergreen to show me the sign, then told me it was my fault for not knowing it was there. A genuine Barney Fife.
