I find that liberals are generally very well intentioned, well educated (strictly classroom), and catastrophically ignorant people.
A good way to begin a debate with a liberal is with the use of a hypothetical, a 'what would you do' scenario. Of course you are baiting a trap, but that's life...
Then a statement that appeals to their better nature.
"In a situation like the one I described, it isn't just your right, but your solemn responsibility to yourself and your family (or those you must protect) to seek the advantage, whatever that may be, and survive because of it. These weapons embody that advantage."
Then shut up. ANY discussion that leads to subjective interpretation of the 2nd amendment will go nowhere quick, and neither of you is sitting on the Supreme Court, so don't waste your time.
Logic and reason will not always prevail against an ingrained idea, but never hesitate to chip away at the wall. You never know how many before you have tried.
*hops off soapbox*
Cicero said "an unjust law is NO LAW" (emphasis added). Nothing a man can write down for others to read and obey can possibly compete with the divine right to stay alive.
dangit!
