Where's the well regulated militia you Americans scream about so loudly when someone suggests not letting a mentally ill child own an assault rifle?
Isn't this exactly the government tyranny that argument is used to defend against?
I think they’re the same people that are locking up random immigrants
Your family were invaders too boss, I don't remember inviting anyone over to genocide the native population do you?
Even if you believe in the whole "illegal aliens" silliness, that still wouldn't preclude people from also being immigrants.
They're too busy gargling republican boot to bother rising up against the tyranny they've cried about for decades.
To a unnerving amount of people's surprise, they only cared about the power of the state when they thought it was being used improperly (having a tolerant democracy), and are more than happy to see it used the way they want (hurting brown people)
It'll come for them at the finish. These brown shirts should pick up a history book. The people who helped the Nazis rise to power did not live to get to enjoy it.
This is quite a terse way of putting it.
10/10. No notes.
Yes. Nobody wants to be first because they and the next xx% will be the sacrifice.
if it's not the home of the brave, it won't be the land of the free
The thing that I don't get about those people is, what do they think the "well regulated" part means?
Those 2a chuds will never rise up against a tyrannical government.
They'd rather kneel down for a tyrannical government.
This has been asked many, many times. Most of them are on Drumpy's side. The same fucks on Jan6.
Do you actually want an answer? I think you know the details aren’t suitable for a public forum.
Hey dumbass, it turns out that:
Each state has its own laws about this. Where I live the same state constitution that ALSO specifically grants us the right to own firearms for self defense explicitly forbids belonging to any private militia.
My part (Democrats) is so overwhelmingly anti gun that 99% of aren’t armed to begin with. So precious militia you’re smugly pretending to ask about? Yeah you’re looking at them in the post to begin with. They’re all boot licking fascists.
Nice try though, pretending disarming Americans is the answer to anything other than more deportations, more oppression, and so on.
I’ll give you this: literally neither side gives a shit about the actual underlying problem: mental health. Over half of ALL gun deaths in the USA each year are from suicide. You don’t need an AR15 for that. Banning and removing all guns successfully won’t stop all those people wanting to be dead, but my fellow Democrats don’t care and the fascists sure don’t.
LOL. My point was, when you have come down of your high horse, that the opponents of gun control hide behind the Second Amendment and the need to protect themselves from government overreach, but those are the exact same people who jump up to volunteer to do that exact bit of overreach.
Plus I get to have a little dig at your country's ridiculous gun laws at the same time.
What? That doesn't even make any sense. Anti-Gun folks continually make laws against the second amendment (Imo, I know this is gonna get a lot of flack here but that's not the point.
The second amendment protects the rights of civilians owning guns. And folks who are pro-gun tend to overwhelmingly lean right after years of bastardization from the left.
Maybe actually read the second amendment, and the arguments made by both parties before you "take a little dig"
A lot of these areas have much more stringent gun laws. Yes, they can own the guns, but they can't carry them. Carrying/displaying will probably get them arrested and charged with a weapons felony.
I'm usually told we've moved beyond the need for people to do that. Then we should just leave the use of force to the police: The organizations that consistently seem to try to prove we can't trust them. I agree, the police should be an organization Americans can trust: How can we make them that way?
Does anyone see the irony?
The U.S. never fixed their trust issues with police. So this seems like the logical result.
