Why do old gun nuts ignore the beginning of every interpretation and rewriting of the second amendment? "well regulated"
The nuts will not care until it is their child who is turned into pink mist.
Do you know how many Democrats I have met who actually want to ban all guns? Zero. You are just parroting Fox News talking points that make the left seem like they are anti-freedom.
Go far enough left and you get your guns back.
We don't want to strip the world of guns, we want to strip guns from those who have violent intentions and mental illness. I'm willing to bet that you agree with this and you are probably further left on this than you actually think you are
Does your opinion on braces change or do you still think that they Don't make an AR-15 more dangerous having one? I would love to go to the range with you we can take the brace off of my AR and shoot the target, then put it back on and shoot the target. I guarantee you will miss the paper at least once without the brace. This is not me saying they should be illegal. But people like you keep trying to say that braces don't do anything, that is an outright lie
This discussion means absolutely nothing if people have bad faith arguments. And I'm talking about both sides
I think you wildly misunderstand my associations. I don't watch Fox News or any of the other GOP propaganda channels. I consider myself a liberal. I just happen to understand what the 2nd amendment was designed for.
But, I have personally met liberals who think the world's mass shooting problems could be solved by getting rid of all guns, as if that was some achievable goal in the US. These are people who have never owned a gun in their life, who live in the city, and ironically think that the police is going to protect them when some crazy person shows up in their neighborhood, without understanding that some people in rural areas, where the police are 4-6 hours away, buy guns to actually protect themselves.
Meanwhile, Republican gun nuts are hoarding guns and if there was ever any sort of civil war in this country, they would be the ones with far more firepower. We need to get back to an age of Black Panthers, where liberals were arming themselves as a political counterbalance to armed Republican gun nuts. Just like how the Church of Satan is a political counterbalance to attempts to circumvent the separation of church and state. Every time some politician wants to post the Ten Commandments in a government building, they are there to scare off the idea, by reminding them we have a 1st amendment right to honor all religions, not just Christianity.
