Thank God for our RIGHT to keep and bear arms

Yes Europe has lower ownership and mass killings are rare.

See, but none of that shit matters, because we're getting more guns no matter what. We don't give a rat **** about statistics that are heavily skewed for suicides and gang violence. We don't care.

More guns, not less. Sorry if you love Europe more. They will probably let you live there.

You must be one of those Russians trying to ruin our country. No American could be that dumb.

Yes.....the military leaders of nazi Germany, socialist Russia, cambodia, china, cuba....all agree with those military commanders....it is soooooo much harder to fill mass graves if the victims can shoot back...

 

[Spare_change]

Funny...if he was “outgunned” then why aren’t you advocating for that officer to be provided with fully automatic “mass killing guns” so that he’s not “outgunned”.

Do you know why? Because gun control isn’t about safety. It’s about control.

Because we already have an arms race. Why make it worse? We want less guns, not more. More guns is why we have so much death including mass shootings, cop shootings, accidental shootings, toddler shootings... these are problems solved with gun control.

We are in such a sad state our police are getting ptsd.

Yeah.....I think this one guy was in the documentary....he wasn't the only police officer or paramedic at the shooting, twit. And again, from that documentary we learn that had it not been a gun free zone, more lives would have been saved...from actual witness testimony.....

We went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400-600 million guns in private hands and over 16.3 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2017...guess what happened...
-- gun murder down 49%

--gun crime down 75%

--violent crime down 72%

Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware

Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.

Yes the bill Clinton crime bill and gun control really helped. Now with lots of concealed carry violent crime is increasing.

No.....the Ferguson effect is increasing crime in democrat cities that have attacked their police....

Caused by too many guns. Police rarely shoot people when there is strong gun control.

Most mass shootings happen at night - we should outlaw darkness! What will it cost to light the world?

Makes just as much sense as what you're saying ....

You are conflating one fact with another - and PRESUMING there is a connection.

 

[P@triot]

Because we already have an arms race. Why make it worse?

For the same reason the U.S., the former U.S.S.R., and other nations built up their nuclear arsenals. M.A.D. (mutually assured destruction). History has proven that weakness invites aggression. How many World Wars have we had since the beginning of the nuclear arms race? Answer: 0

 

[P@triot]

We want less guns, not more.

Who is this “we” stuff? The U.S. has spoken. We want more guns. Only the fascists such as yourself want less.

 

[P@triot]

Too many guns.

Too many people with zero respect for the U.S. Constitution. My 2nd Amendment rights trump your opinions.

The right to life is really being trampled.

Only by those who fail to take personal responsibility...

 

[P@triot]

Just about every week we lose a cop to a shooting. Very rare when there is strong gun control.
Arrest warrant issued in connection with shooting death of San Marcos police officer

Really?!? Apparently you haven’t been watching England very closely. They’ve had law enforcement officers beheaded in the streets by muslims. They’ve had law enforcement officers run down by vehicles. And they’ve had law enforcement officers running like pussies during shootings because they were unarmed.

If that’s the world you want to live in - the failed progressive states are waiting for you. But your idiotic dream of a disarmed nation ain’t happening here in the U.S., sparky.

 

[P@triot]

Too many guns.

The Supreme Court agrees the 2nd has limits.

Supreme Court rejects 2 gun rights appeals

Thank God the Supreme Court isn’t empowered to make law from the bench - nor are they empowered to decide what the U.S. Constitution says.

[P@triot]

Yes Europe has lower ownership and mass killings are rare.

Meanwhile, muslims are raping women at alarming rates in Europe. I’m always suspicious of a person who wants to disarm women. Rational people don’t want women to become victims. Only fellow rapists do...

 

[MikeK]

Exactly. Our founders didn't say the right to bear "muskets". Or the right to bear "handguns". They said the right to bear arms. There are no limits on the type of weapons we can have. Of it's ok for the government to have them, and the government answers to the people, then it's sure as hell of for the people to have them.

You've asked a good question, one which has occurred to many including myself. I do recall some time ago reading a Supreme Court justice's response to that question, which held that in such highly controversial Constitutional issues "the matter of Original Intent is left to hold sway." So, presuming the authors of the Second Amendment to be rational, sensible men, and supposing they were able to anticipate technological developments in the field of weaponry, it may also be presumed that such wise and thoughtful men would not approve of any ordinary citizen having unrestrained access to weapons of mass destruction.

So my guess is the presumed "original intent" of the Founders is that ordinary citizens should be permitted to keep and bear the standard individual's weaponry of that era, which were standard shoulder and hand firearms, swords and daggers.

A real American would want to stop all the death. Protect the children. You just want more death.

How does that help all the children shot and killed each year? All the cops shot each year? All the women shot when their relationship goes bad?

Nothing fascist about wanting fewer dead cops and lower crime rates. Why do you want so many armed criminals?

Mass shootings happen often when there are lots of guns. They are rare when there is strong gun control.

 

[Brain357]

With the most guns in the world and the highest incarceration rate we still have much higher crime rates than other civilized countries with gun control. We also have many unique problems to our country like mass shootings, over 50 police shot and killed each year, our police shoot many, many people, toddlers shoot people, road rage shootings, women shot by significant others.... Too many guns.

Yeah, no. Don't care. Everyone should carry a machine gun at all times. That ends the violence REAL fast.
