So he’s made the problem worse still. No tracking of terrorists, allowing terrorists to get their guns back, and allowing those terrorists to be in the Capitol legally with a weapon.
Nope, he did the right thing to protect the rights of his state's citizens, and I applaud those decisions. Freedom and privacy are fundamentally related and should always be protected.
Yeah, why have red flag laws? Ensuring psycho neighbors can still have guns regardless of what they've done and who they are is a great idea. Lol
Freedom to go fucking nuts with a gun! This is America!
Wild. I was just conversing with my gun-nut uncle who literally owns 50 guns in Southern Virginia. Even he actively wants a federal regulation around gun safety, background checks, etc. How people are fine regulating speed limits, alcohol consumption, prescription drugs, etc but NOT literal death machines is just bizzarro to me.
There HAS to be regulation of guns. People keep saying to me, "but cars kill more people, people use inanimate objects to kill others all the time." Yes they do. And you want people like that to have unregulated access to GUNS on top of that??
Guns only have one purpose, to kill. That's what they are designed for. I'd sooner have a rabid hyena with acid for saliva running freely about my house than ever own a gun for any reason.
