Help me respond to this.

I'd be interested to know the names of the three police officers who are assigned to protect him around the clock, and who takes over for each of them during their lunch hours.

It's an arrangement that would interest me very much if I could work it out, because I'd prefer relinquishing all responsibility for my safety to dedicated law enforcement officers who would hover over me and sacrifice their lives for mine.

Does anyone remember off the top of their head what US SC decisions upheld that LEOs have no legal responsibility to protect individuals?

Gonzalez v City of Castle Rock in Colorado.

Just offhand.

But I just hit oyez.org (US Supreme Court's website) and there were no results for a search by that title.

You might want to search oyez.org yourself for more info on the subject.

I would not attack his english or grammar. It isn't necessary. To me it sounds condescending which does not help you.

The Washington DC police force has more cops per capita than any other major city in the country yet their response times are over 8 minutes, far worse than any other city. The supreme court has ruled it is not the duty of the police to protect you. The Army cannot be utilized domestically without authorization from the federal government.
These three points shoot their argument apart.

This quote right here says, "game, set and match." He at least admits the true mindset of the average anti.

I'm not attacking you. I mean I honestly understand your arguments logic. But logic is not real. I don't believe in logic.

I am not for guns existing in the first place. So in my world, there is no pro gun or pro no gun...

He sounds like a poser, someone attempting to get attention by responding with enough red flags to run a bullfight. Don't respond to him at all it sounds like thats what he craves, like that wack job the other day in Homestead, it even sounds like he tried to emulate him, I would report him to the athorities if he continues, But i'm 90% sure he's a put on.

For me one of the most compelling arguments for the right to bear arms is a police force. All we do is pay them to bear arms in our stead. Why shouldn't we be allowed to bear arms ourselves. Furthermore, as we know too well, courts have ruled on multiple occasions, that the police are not legally liable for our safety. If they are not legally liable for our safety, then we must assume that liablity ourselves. How we assume that liability should be up to the individual. Personally, I know there are many people larger than me and better fighters, and perhaps carrying lethal weapons. I'm a human. I use tools. I'll use a gun to defend myself against a lethal threat. Thankfully, we retain that right in most jurisdictions in the US. Unfortunately we don't in some, and unfortunately, stupid DAs and jurors throw that in the face of some of their peers (e.g. Harold Fish).

Here's my response to that idiot. "What are you going to do about it"?
