What amuses you is irrelevant. This is the reason gun owners are against gun control.
Also, those same “bunch of slave rapists” also wanted free speech, freedom of religion and due process, among other things; all of which I’m sure you agree with. Tell me I’m wrong.
I'd rather have freedom of religion and a responsible press that doesn't destroy people's lives.
Right. Given to you by a group of people who, when they also give you the right to bear arms, are suddenly a bunch of “slave rapists”. You’re full of shit.
Given you are perfectly fine with Smirky Sandmann Suing the WaPo for merely showing his slappable face, I don't think you are that committed to free speech or the free press.
I’ve never said anything one way or the other about Sandmann’s lawsuit and I don’t give a shit about it.
While I think the media is guilty of conflating and sensationalizing the story and that the way they went about it helped stoke animosity and hatred against Sandmann, they were careful to word their stories and headlines to where I don’t think Sandmann will win his case.
In reality, they wouldn’t have needed to sensationalize anyway because everyone had a liberal aneurism and threw objectivity right out the window the moment they saw the MAGA hat.
Don’t insult my intelligence. You just said you’d be fine with no one having firearms.
You've told me that you can't keep them out of their hands without infringing on everyone's right. Fine. You tell me how you are going to keep guns out of the hands of the next mass shooter, I'll be happy to listen.
I don’t know what the solution is but I know what it is
not. Banning firearms is not and will not be the end-all/be-all solution for avoiding mass shootings.
The problem of mass killings has been simmering for some time and there are multiple factors involved, the least of which is the firearm itself.
Guns are merely a tool and are incapable of killing unless someone picks it up and uses it for that purpose.
So the question is, why are we seeing an upsurge in mass shootings now, in the last twenty years or so, when the semiautomatic rifle has been around and available to consumers for eighty to a hundred years?
For your information dumbass, ALL of us have to live with these things.
I don’t like this shit any more than you. I just don’t delude myself into thinking that it’s all the fault of legal and law abiding gun owners just because I hate them. I’m also intelligent enough to see the bigger picture and know that the problem is cultural and that merely depriving law abiding gun owners of their firearms won’t solve the problem.
No, we don't have to live with those things.
Didn’t say we did.
Countries with common sense gun laws DON'T have those things.
Norway, 2011 - 77 people killed; remains the worst mass shooting/killing in history.
France, 2015 Charlie Hebdo shooting - 12 people killed.
France, 1978 Marseille bar massacre; 10 people killed.
Belgium, 2011 Liege attack - 6 people killed.
Russia, 2010 Chechen Parliament attack - 6 killed.
Spain, 1990 Puerto Hurraco shooting - 9 killed.
Need I go on? There are many more examples but I think you get the point.
