This is a slipper slope. The entire purpose of the 2nd amendment it to ensure citizens of the United States never again falls to tyranny. In other words, the founding fathers wanted citizens to have the means to go to war against the state. But what if the people assigned to do mental health checks are part of the tyranny? To become a psychologist usually requires many credit hours in the Humanities, which has been completely taken over by the left. And the left is inherently authoritarian. >tfw the person who determines whether you're mentally fit enough to own a gun is an Evergreen State College graduate.
The left has completely taken over American education and they're converting all classrooms into progressive factories. Here is a sample of the sort of people who will be conducting these proposed mental health checks >youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=bO1agIlLlhg
Bret Weinstein made a documentary about what happened on the Evergreen State College campus during the year prior to the Evergreen Protests. The release of this documentary has gone under the radar, due to Youtube's algorithm suppressing it, but I just found it and it's the scariest shit I've seen in years.
It's so much cringe I doubt you'll be able to watch it all. The President of the college didn't learn anything despite massive white flight and the school pretty much doubled down on its identity policy. The majority of Evergreen State College graduates go on to become public school teachers.
It's already illegal to purchase a firearm if you've been adjudicated mentally ill. Have you ever filled out a background check to buy a gun? It's right there in black and white.
Connor Brown
In the wake of the El Paso shooting, there has been a call to require a visit to a psychologist in order to get a gun permit.
Isaiah Walker
Time to dig in and lock it down. These scumbags on fake news cnn are trying so hard to take everyones guns.
Never seek mental help if you want to keep your rights. Thats the lesson here.

As for this I’m sure your AR-15 will work wonders against a military helicopter. Good luck with that.

Shut the fuck up you moron, you wouldn't fight in a revolution if it happened, you'd murder and rape and fend for yourself amidst the chaos.

You're a fucking gun toting cheeseburger brained pussy.

Jonathan Morales
How many calls to action by the emotionally unstable segment of the "left" have gone unheeded? Nearly all. Normal capacity, you mean.

The fallacy being that emotionally unstable segments of people havnt called for mental health checks before all gun purchases? Because they obviously have. The fallacy being that the majority of academia is slanted left? It obviously is.

No I'm talking about today. I worked for the military for a few years, the vast majority of the air force wont be bombing US cities. Also, guns aren't going anywhere. Maybe California passes tighter laws than they already have, but the rest of the country isn't budging. Most states are moving towards relaxing laws, actually.
It doesn't matter, because antimaterial rounds will be bouncing off of the General Dynamics terminators that will be confiscating firearms. That will be there dry run, before forced sterilization. I support the owners of the terminators, for the masses are inferior wagecucks.

There is a reason dictators disarm the populace before they begin genociding them.
There is a reason the CIA floods countries with small arms before destabilizing them and orchestrating revolutions.
There is a reason that revolutions still exist despite all the scary technology that you claim can't be beaten.

Gavin Perry
“Eighty-six percent of American voters support a bill recently passed by the House of Representatives that requires background checks for all gun purchases (including those conducted at gun shows and by online vendors), including 80 percent of Republicans and 70 percent of gun owners. When asked if they support "requiring background checks for all gun buyers," 93 percent of voters said that they do, including 89 percent of Republicans and 87 percent of gun owners. The survey also noted that support for universal background checks has fluctuated from 88 percent to 97 percent in every poll taken by Quinnipiac University since February 2013, with the numbers peaking at 97 percent in the immediate aftermath of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting.”
Quinnipiac said 99% Hillary wins too, along with all the other "reputable" polling agencies. Salon is one of the most slanted sources you could possibly cite.
Bentley Myers
see for starters, and secondly to the original point; every historical example of the military putting the boots to the public starts with disarmament, and the alleged brainwashing that you assume would happen was courtesy of controlling the media/dissemination of information which in this day and age in the US would be absolutely impossible. Thirdly, military personnel are not part of a higher caste of people in the US, they're normal citizens whose family and friends are normal citizens so I don't know why you're so utterly convinced they would turn and mow down their neighbors in an Apache, dumbass.
Kayden Lopez
Exactly. The right of the people to form militias. The people have the right to bear arms ONLY if they join a militia where they'll receive proper training on how to possess firearms responsibly.
How about actually going to college and learn something from a legitimate authority rather than trying to educate yourself using prison planet.
Nathaniel Campbell
>being this mad about something you can’t change My guess is you’re exactly the type of dude who would be denied a firearm for being mentally unstable. Thing is there cupcake, this slippery slope you’re talking about is better than not taking any measures to limit actual retards from having access to guns. I mean hell, ask me guns should be outlawed for any adult not current or former military or LEO. why should you have the right to bear arms?

Anthony Turner

Like what happened in Connecticut after Sandy Hook?
Colton Garcia
That doesn't... did you miss the part about the 32 other state legislatures? user.
Dense cities are, generally speaking, entirely democratic controlled. Democrat or Republican is really irrelevant to be honest. More killings happen in dense cities, where Democrats have extremely tight gun regulations. These cities overwhelmingly vote Democrat. Have for a hundred years. There obviously aren't more Republican run major cities. Anyone that thinks that is blind.
Carter Ortiz
I love how republicans always turn mass tragedies into a 'nyah nyah but you' situation. America is full of retards and you all should have your guns removed.

Stopping gun violence is entirely within the realm of possibility as seen in Australia.
Leo Wood
Had a buyback type program. Grandfathering program etc. Its unfortunate for Connecticut and its citizens. Those laws will stop exactly ZERO gun violence and several of the largest gun production facilities have either moved or will be built elsewhere. Connecticut was one of the largest gun producing and importing states in the US. That's a lot of tax dollars that wont be there to feed hungry children. Good job Connecticut

>Democrat or Republican is really irrelevant to be honest So the mention of "democratic cities"... should be moot. But it says here that dense cities are generally controlled by democrats.
What is going on here. It's really irrelevant, but at the same time, it's because of the Democrats. The consolation here is that we've admitted that, no, there aren't more Republican-majority cities to establish that it very well is a problem of the Democrats... and not because it's a dense city.
Don't even know what to do about the Salon comment. I'm sure that's important.

>The entire purpose of the 2nd amendment it to ensure citizens of the United States never again falls to tyranny.
Except it isn't. The Second Amendment was created so that the states could form militias or armies because the federal government had no standing military. It is outdated simply because the federal government controls the entirety of the military.
The anti-tyranny argument is NRA/gun lobbyist/crackpot propaganda. You really think the U.S government, the most powerful military entity in the world, that leads the pack by a fucking landslide, is going be shy of enforcing a tyrannical government against a bunch of civilians with guns?
>Oh but I'm gonna save my country and my people just because I have a gun
Give people the illusion that they have power and they'll hold onto it for dear life.
Ethan Mitchell
> It was an illustration that gun control in democratic cities does nothing
It’s unrealistic to think that criminals won’t bring guns into cities in spite of local laws.
That’s one of the reasons that a staggering majority of Americans support universal bg checks. It’s all meaningless unless the entire country agrees to end this nonsense.

That’s the lowest homicide rate ever, according to state data, and Connecticut has one of the lowest gun death rates in the nation.
I don't really see much criticism of any Republican aspect here. Not much praise either, but according to all this, they're not as bad as the Democrats. Oh, and screw the slanted lying polling agencies. Amazing that most red states are moving in the other direction, however.

You can even build your own firearms if you are not a complete moron. There is really no way to control such a mass of people. Maybe you catch one, maybe you catch a hundred. That's far from every smalltime gangster out there.
In the end, those crying for control and safety are putting themselves in a prison while everyone else still runs around druged up and armed, and you cannot do a single thing about it.

The opposite of exactly in reality. That was written after we gained independence from England who fought us with both soldiers(brought in) and militia (guys that fought that lived here). Afterwards we ensured both the rights to form our own as well as not being subject to its rule. No one wanted anyone to tell anyone how to live. Everyone being equally armed is the best way to ensure tyranny cannot grow unchecked. You ever wonder why al9ng with speech, arms and a handful of other things "not being forced to quarter soldiers" is part of freedom too. Militia would kick in your door and sleep in your bed because they had guns and numbers. You don't know how bad things can get. Fuck a disarmed world!

>Red" states have it more right than "blue" states >I dislike both of them for the same reason Red states have it more right than blue states regarding guns. Generally speaking. This is your opinion, or your observation. However, "red" and "blue" are on the same side.
One side has it right, yet both sides are the same. You dislike both sides for the same reason, but one side has it more right in your eyes. Checks out.
There's no fence-sitting requirement when it comes to not being a partisan. There are no sides if both sides are the same. There are people who take on labels. There are members of government, regardless of their party affiliation, that govern. What they do, irrespective of their party, should matter.

I didnt say one side was right. I said, in quotations, alluding to the labels falsity, the red states have this one issue more right. Not right, more right.

You said, in plain text, the red or "red" states have this one issue more right. Democrats and Republicans can't be pushing for the same thing if the idea is that the Republicans are "more right" about how they address gun control laws.
Parker Harris
Centrism has been dead for a long time. Both "sides" have been left of center for 80+ years and sliding. Your political spectrum is wrong. You would say I--dems-------------------------------------reps--I When in reality its I--big govt-------------------------------small govt--I Dems, reps, socialists, communists (socialists), fascists, are all on the same side. Beyond that, fiscal irresponsibility, deficit spending, debasing my currency, marriage of state and corporations are all common place on both "sides" They are the same and they are both wrong.
Carter Perez
What's the "glaring gun problem"?
Gun ownership doesn't correlate with crimerate. Certain cultures do, however.
Jack Perez
> fiscal irresponsibility, deficit spending, debasing my currency, marriage of state and corporations are all common place on both "sides" > They are the same and they are both wrong.
Politics isn't right vs left its "I like money and power and fear my blackmailers... fuck you citizen".
Jeremiah Jackson
No. Where did I say one side had fun laws correct? I didnt. I said one was less wrong than the other. I'm against Democrats and Republicans because they're they same power hungry, fiscally irresponsible, cheating, lying politicians. When both parties debase my currency, and therefore my labor, the same, they are the same. I am a single issue voter. Dont debase my currency for your personal gain, I vote for you. Debase my currency for your personal gain, I dont vote for you. Simple as that.
Daniel Morgan
What gun problem?
Angel Moore
Alright, we have one for ethnic cleansing. Anyone else?
He thinks policitians have clean hands are are honest folks just because they promised him 1k a month. He hasn't been paying attention very well.
Jose Kelly
Slippery slope arguments are bullshit. "If we let fags get married, pretty soon people will want to marry street signs and dogs and multiple people!"..."If we legalize weed then next thing you know we will have to legalize heroin and speed"!...."If we let people tear down confederate statues, pretty soon they will come for statues of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln". Pure, fear-based horseshit.
The 2nd Amendment was not about INDIVIDUALS fighting a corrupt GOVERNMENT. It was a measure designed to keep the Federal Government from disarming the States. Remember, at the time this country was founded, the power struggle was between States and the Federal Government. A weak federal government was creating a multitude of problems and the country was in danger of falling apart. The point in writing the constitution was to find a compromise between state sovereignty and very badly needed federal authority. The rights of individuals were largely irrelevant, and the Bill of Rights was an afterthought, added to the Constitution only after it had been ratified and adopted in order to address the crises that led to its being created in the first place.
The 2nd amendments application to individual defense and its purpose as a way for citizens to protect themselves against tyranny are modern interpretations adopted over time, as the culture and priorities of the country have changed. In cases of personal protection and home defense, this interpretation makes sense and is backed by Supreme Court rulings which interpret the 2nd amendment that way.
BUT, the idea that individual firearm ownership is a protection against a tyrannical government is pure bullshit. It's part gun marketing and part big boy fantasy and its so old that most people just accept it as gospel.
Armed Citizens present no concern for a tyrannical federal government. They have us all by the balls.
Landon Fisher
The news you watch is owned and operated by your enemies. It's sad that not only are you stupid enough to believe it, you defend your masters. I genuinely feel bad for you.
>On the gun issue alone >Generally >"Red" states have it more right than "blue" states A synonym for right is correct. It's really not an inappropriate substitution, considering that more right is not 100% right in the context that you were providing. But, I don't at all see where you were misconstrued as saying, verbatim, that one side had gun laws correct.
You did say that one side had gun laws more right. Though, I noticed something else.
>democratic gun reform has done jack shit
>red states just happen to have better gun laws at the moment So red states just happen to have better gun laws which beat the democratic gun reform, which has done jack shit.
Let's not happily change the topic to currency.
Aiden Moore
Jesus Christ how did you people get so far gone from reality?
The currency in your bank account will buy you less today than it did yesterday. How did you become so blinded by your facebook and Twitter feeds. I bet you think the federal reserve is federal.
Brody Brown
Power tool is an insult, right? If it's not, I'm going to start using it as one.
Connor Powell
>people who have nothing to do with it I'd even blame them if you were right, which you clearly aren't.
Nope, just less wrong. Just like how orange juice and pineapple juice are both delicious. Pineapple juice being more delicious doesnt make orange juice taste bad. Still both delicious, one is just more delicious.
Henry Butler
The idea that we can rise up and resist a tyrannical government is ridiculous on the face of it, and a product of a bygone age.
1. Resistance is futile. The government wants to kill you, your dead. They control the skies, the media, and our supply chains. You and your buddies little bitch rifles are a joke.
2. It will never come to that. This place runs on money. Money churned out by freedom. That kind of prosperity, no one wants to risk it. The government is so divided and filled with self-serving pricks they can barely pass a bill, they are not coming for us and making us bow down to the dear leader. Get real with that shit.
Henry Garcia
I don't think you know how English works? Or analogies? You just said that it was only less wrong, but in your analogy, a kind of juice is more delicious in of itself, and not dependent upon the taste of the other juice.
Is this bait?
Aaron Lopez
He's not wrong. 99% of our politicians are grabbing what they can while they can... and they won't point out crooked policy because they themselves have already taken advantage, or their connections have. Senators can make mad bank if they have no scruples.
Eli Smith
Currency, you mean. This place runs on currency. The difference between money and currency makes all the difference in the world. Unfortuenly you dont know the difference. Vast majority of regime changes in the 20th and 21st century were caused by small groups of individuals, not standing armies. Most of those changed were done with currency, not swords.
Kevin Foster
Yea so the new tacticts to get your government in check is to deny the validity of its currency. If the entire country would just stop using it there is nothing they could do except try to scare you back into the program. Trying to shoot your way through is ridiculous as you say.
Landon Nguyen
My trailer would be much bigger if it weren't for the Mexicans.
Evan Davis
What does a division of the treasury department have to do with anything related to Op's post?
Jaxson Sanders
I understand that Democratic gun laws are wrong. Republican gun laws are wrong. They are both eventually or currently heading in the wrong direction, despite some red states making concessions today, as a symptom of the overall slide towards more centralized government facilitated by fiat currency and dissociation of legislation and public will. Argue semantics all you like. Vote for whichever dumbass party makes you feel good. You vote means nothing. My vote means nothing that's the moral of the story.
Hudson Lee
A group of civilians would never hold up against a tyrannical U.S. gov. Guns are pointless these days. Just for incels with Rambo fantasies.
Adam White
Which division of the treasury dept controls or audits the unbridled creation of your currency? I was responding to an anons post about media, which was bought by controlling interests around the Wilson campaign. Coincidentally enough, the same folks running our private central bank at the time. Catch up.
Brody Moore
>You and your buddies little bitch rifles are a joke. A group of civilians would never hold up against a tyrannical U.S. gov. Guns are pointless these days. Just for incels with Rambo fantasies. see You are wrong and stupid.
Thomas Ortiz
The Vietcong did it. It's called gorilla warfare. >the Taliban have still not been defeated.
>Has a single pro-gun person conceded a single thing that will actually help curb our GLARING gun problem? Something that didn't include MOAR GUNSSS!!!! Just for the record.... the answer was no. Only "what problem" and "niggers". Zero solutions.
Nolan Peterson
Again no evidence has come forward about school teachers all being leftist, only a claim that never got corroborated.
Joseph King
What the fuck, explain your analogy. Why are you now suddenly talking about the gun laws again? You haven't even cleared up why more right does not equal being right. I haven't even begun to lay into what exactly is wrong with that analogy, and it pains me to know that you likely just pulled it out of your ass.
Jesus. You are highlighting the exceptions for the red states while simultaneously suggesting they are both heading in the wrong direction- before even finishing the thought, suggesting one might get to the alleged destination faster. And you rationalize it all with currency. And now you accuse someone else of arguing semantics. Lordy lord, and then you say someone's vote means nothing, having previously promoting anti-government feelings and political wit while arguing that some of the cronies are, I assume, good people.
I would not take instruction from you if it meant getting a glass of water, I'd end up drinking arsenic.
>be sane >know chance of successful self-defense with gun is less than being struck by lightning >not worth carrying heavy piece of metal around all day >would get gun >donotwant.jpg

Connor Carter
The people that will that currency into existence have gone to great lengths to ensure that they dont catch up.
Nathan Lopez
Quit harping on "the Left" all the fucking time. You sound like a brainwashed retard.
You want to bitch about how the left have taken over education? Are you fucking serious? Look at the retard factory education systems in the south. Let's take time out from STEM to talk about Jesus. Let's take money from public school budgets and give it to churches and at home parents. Lets literally rewrite our textbooks to support a softer view of American history, a "both sides" argument for the origin of the earth and our species, and let's be sure to push social and economic values into kids by cutting out information that doesn't support those ideas.
Let's just censor reality and only focus on the stuff that makes us feel good.
You have to be fucking kidding me, talking about progressive brainwashing in schools when this kind of shit is the order of the day in state after state. Why do conservatives project so fucking hard all the time? "I'm not racist, your racist!" "I'm not brainwashing my kids, your the one doing that!".
Wake up you pathetic dickless fuck, THEY ARE LYING TO YOU. They want you stupid and afraid so that you will do what they want and not make trouble. Work your shit job, keep your head down, stay away from higher education and all those dangerous new ideas. Keep going to church, keep to your own group, don't trust anybody because this country is full of bad, evil, people who just want to ruin everything.
Wyatt Gray
No wonder you don't understand. You believe you are talking to one person while you don't.
Samuel Sanders
Put purpose trained, well paid, commissioned officers in every school for starters. Take down those stupid gun free zone signs. Why is every vault filled with green pieces of paper guarded by police and our children aren't?
Kevin Smith
>You believe you are talking to one person while you don't Finish the sentence. Talking to multiple people does not preclude understanding, and frankly, I have the other posts there specifically because of the common thread that is >currency >currency >currency >currency >muh currency Christ alive.
Nathaniel Clark
Two kinds of animals on earth. Predator and prey. We found that we get more from exploitation than ingestion. I don't even hate them for getting theirs. They are being good animals, but bad people. We all have to be patient with evolution.
Jace Reyes
Are you retarded? Why am I even asking..
Ryan Bell
I cant help that you cant keep up with overarching movements with minuscule tremors contained within. Both parties are wrong. I dont like either of them. That simple enough?
Jayden Wood
I bought a Remington 970 Variant when I turned 18 and it's still completely legal without a background check. Private sales laws are so loose in Texas, nothing substantial will ever happen here thank god.
Julian Bell
Don't be a retard. Just use google. Do a search for failed armed insurgencies. And since the beginning of time? How old do you think guns are?
Luis Morris
That's the whole point. The currency is the problem. Use money instead of currency and a lot of this stuff disappears.
Josiah Anderson
So there are 2 anons mentioning currency at least 5 times whenever they reply to something? This overbearing emphasis on currency is random?
>I cant help that you cant keep up with overarching movements >That simple enough I, if not you, know that this isn't what was being said.
Fucking deus ex currency.
Elijah Gray
Because human life is inherently worthless. The rich and powerful understand this. The poor and powerless don't.
Connor Robinson
Coming from the people that think trans are sane.
Isaiah Allen
Careful, the last few people with that idea have inexplicably been invaded, deposed or assassinated.
Nicholas Russell
so the big question is, can trannies own guns? if you let trannies have guns, you can't tell anyone else they're too mentally unstable for them
Elijah Gray
Wouldn't a blanket statement for a whole group be inherently ignorant in concern to individuals? A test could sort out one from the other since it is impossible to speak for a crowd.
Jose Myers
There's another vote for >MOAR GUNS
Joshua Jenkins
>whole group all trannies are mentally ill, faggot. you can not be sane and want to be someone else

Every place gets a "mascot" just like Japan. The big colorful happy suit hides the private security in full hard suit short range power armor. Every place gets a "mascot", kids love em.
Xavier Walker
Humans are all mental. Psychological homosapian = crazy monkey. There is a place for everyone. Some of those places are far apart for good reason. We all need to calm down and sort our collective shit. Its evolve or die and society moves faster than biology. I may not have a solution but hate isn't going to help. Fear and ignorance is overcoming rational thought lately. Just be patient with humanity. We are not done yet and no one knows where we are going. Unfortunately I agree having folks too confused to know if they boy or girl can't be good for the whole. So is being stuck in a black and white reality in a technicolor universe. Only fools are positive and a leader doesn't have to be right, only sure. It takes 100 years on average for common sense to sink in. Lets be patient with one another. Yeah?
Lucas Wood
>Psychological homosapian = crazy monkey What? >Its evolve or die and society moves faster than biology Evolution isn't a conscious process. >evolve or die >Just be patient with humanity What? > a leader doesn't have to be right If your leader jumps off a cliff with confidence, I hope you re-evaluate your leaders.
I think that's the most important point. Dumbasses say that a well armed militia can't handle the US government, yet they are forgetting the times when a militia took down super powers i.e. Vietnam and Afghanistan.
Jordan Jones
You're a fucking joke. guerilla warfare has been proven to be able to handle super powers military.
Isaac Stewart
>The entire purpose of the 2nd amendment it to ensure citizens of the United States never again falls to tyranny.
>the founding fathers wanted citizens to have the means to go to war against the state.
The funny thing is how weak this argument is now. The fuck is a bunch of hillbillies armed with semi auto rifles going to do against tanks, bombers and tactical nukes?
Pic related. How do you handle this when all you have is a semi auto AR-15?
>all the same hardware available to the military Exactly, that is the purpose of the amendment. This is why there is so much push against gun legislation. The gun owners have already capitulated time and time again, and proponents are honestly disingenuous in calling for "restrictions" at this point. Just be honest with everybody and say you only want the government, police, and organized crime to have firearms
Zachary Lee
You mean: >The US created ISIS in the first place.
Liam Perry
I get it. The world is scary. You need to feel like you have some kind of control over chaos by having the "correct" philosophy for living. That your argument is valid. Hate to break it to you but no one does and no one is. Everyone seams to have some good points but are being dicks about their tiny pieces of a big puzzle. Its all experimental. Especially in the US. Figuring out what works for now is the best we can hope for. Clinging to what was, is futile. We live in interesting times.
Ian Jones
>a well-regulated militia
Guns are great. I like guns. I like the concept of protecting freedom, protecting yourself, and protecting your family.
But let’s have some regulations that make sense. People who are domestic abusers, have a criminal history, violet tendencies, or subscribe to hateful propaganda should be disallowed gun ownership because they’re dangerous in the hands of the unhinged.
Let’s make gun ownership at least as stringent as keeping a driver’s license as a starting point and see how that goes.
Carter Wright
your understanding of the second amendment is completely inaccurate. consider suicide.
Robert Rodriguez
>The world is scary >You need to feel like you have some kind of control over chaos by having the "correct" philosophy for living >Hate to break it to you but no one does and no one is This would include you. You're just spitting out a stream of consciousness fluffed with mysticism and folk understanding.
I tell you that evolution is not a conscious process, and in the midst of telling me that I'm afraid, you contradict your own hackneyed "wisdom" with more "wisdom". How you you reconcile no one having any clue, with figuring things out, and the futility of clinging to what was?
Idiot.
Gavin Clark
>military helicopter
your right,except those military helicopters are going to be used to get rid of you anti gun leftists instead.considering gun owners and republicans support the military

Embrace the chaos user. Its all carved in sillyputty. You get confidence from thinking you're right. I get confidence from knowing we are all still figuring things out.
Anthony Taylor
>You get confidence from thinking you're right >I get confidence from knowing Idiot.
Cooper Diaz
facts. cant have retards kids if you dont let the tards breed. theres more to it than that, but a start. my aut decided she was gonna pop xans while she was pregnant with my cousin. he came out barely able to fucking live on his own, diagnosed with asbergers around 12 years old, and steals womens clothes to keep himself warm.
Landon Diaz
Debate is proof that we still have to figure things out. I know this user. It's not a theory.
Daniel Lopez
No one said that it was a theory. No one said anything that you are addressing.
Asher Rodriguez
It's entirely accurate. That is literally the purpose of the second amendment.
Logan Ward
Yeah it's just ignore places like Hawaii stripping citizens of their guns rights because they also have a marijuana card.
Kayden Taylor
How do you know our fore fathers didn’t anticipate high capacity magazines? That is such a bold statement. Our forefathers knew there was a time when we didn’t have guns. So it would be reasonable to believe that like everything around was changing, so would the functionality of guns. People like you are truly fucking stupid and would happily give away the one right that protects all rights.
Nolan Brooks
Supreme Court disagrees with you and your liberal “educators.” To be cucked into retardation is truly a terrifying to witness
Joshua Foster
You say that like it’s something to be proud of. Since those seats got flipped, wtf has come out of Congress? Otho g but a bunch of estrogen filled rants about the president. The left has shown they don’t care about America. They care more about illegals, muslims, and free shit. Good work dumb ass, you have literally proved nothing
Noah Parker
And I bet most of them came from Southern Cali and Chicago. What party rules over those places?
Jonathan Anderson
You know they had a mass shooting like 2 months ago right? Your shitty doctor, drivers but is fucking dumb. That can easily translate to there are just shitty people, so why fuck up something for everyone? At least Neil’s numbers prove that there are bigger killers out there, all which are caused in the hands of another person. You proved nothing you fucking moron
Nathan Moore
No when needed the militia is formed by ordinary citizens with their own weapons. It was assumed every adult male would already own and be trained in using a weapon. Just because you failed at learning a skill a man is expected to know doesn't change the meaning and intent of the 2nd.
