All people have always had the God-given right to life, liberty, and property (except when forfeited through contract or crime), regardless of whether or not society or the government acknowledged that right. I thank God that women have enjoyed the recognition of these rights in America for many years now. As for slave ownership, the slaves traded in America did not voluntarily sell their freedom, nor did they receive forced labor as just punishment for some crime, but were instead stolen and enslaved unjustly. The slave trade was a vile refusal to acknowledge human rights, and I am glad that I took no part in it.

ALL PEOPLE EVERYWHERE ALWAYS HAVE AND HAVE HAD RIGHTS? YOU LIVE ON A DIFFERENT PLANET THAN I DO | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
2 ups, 6y
I live on earth, where rights are not something given to you by government, but something that governments need to recognize since you already have them as intrinsic qualities endowed to you by God. We do not live on different planets, we just have different understandings of what rights are.

If those or any other so-called rights are truly inalienable (on account of dieties or whatever), governments, laws, courts, etc, wouldn't be needed to establish and secure those rights.

The irony of your stance is that guns were invented and are used to TAKE those very rights away from others.

Locke's "life, liberty, and property" or Jefferson's "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness" are just nice words, as Jefferson's 200 slaves can attest. As well as can any properly functioning firearm.

Rights being inalienable does not mean that they can never be violated, but rather that anyone who does violate them is wrong to do so.

As for guns, they serve to defend rights far more often than they do to impose upon rights (statistically, that is)

Read the Bible for comparison with yesteryear's God given rights to today's. Just like then, anyone with a bigger weapon or aim can abridge said 'inalienable' imaginary rights.

No.
Guns serve to shoot bullets at whatever the shooter shoots at.

I do read the Bible on a regular basis (about three chapters on most days). It affirms rights to life, liberty, and property by strictly and thoroughly forbidding murder, man-stealing, and theft.

As for guns shooting bullets at whatever the shooter shoots at, that is very much true. The great thing about guns is that they, unlike almost any other weapon, do not rely on personal strength. A paralyzed man can use a gun to defend himself, even if the person attacking him is in great physical condition. Guns level the playing field, and create conditions where fewer people are willing to initiate an attack. They are the greatest defense against crime, foreign invasion, and government tyranny.

I have no idea what chapters you've been reading, but there are no such rights, unless you consider the obligations layed out for Hebrew men to supplicate themselves to Yahweh or Elohim, and that women and children within their families are their chattel of which they must protect in exchange for servitude and economic gain to somehow be rights. There are no 'liberties' cited for women or children. Men may sell their daughters into marriage or even as slaves. Slaves have no liberties either, shocker, huh? Nor for foreigners and non-Jews. The punishment for rape is death - that is, to the victim, unless she is a virgin daughter who must then be forced to marry the rapist or be put to death lest she sully the father's reputation. Likewise for wives and concubines, the death part, that is.

But you know this already.

Guns are for those who feel weak.
Strength, dexterity, aiming ability, etc, improve shooting skills as any regular NRA'erist or senior citizen who are not trained soldiers can attest.

Police, armies, and public opinion are the greatest defense againt crime, invasion, tyranny because the nuclear silo your yard and the tank in your garage require expensive upkeep.

I disagree, I do think there will be attempts but so far, every buy back, turn in and bans have failed. The numbers of weapons seized, turned in and bought were small. With 350 million firearms in the hands of citizens, there is no possibility to disarm. The hard truth is anyone with an understanding of simple tools can build a firearm in a few hours. Heck, I would make them for barter items if every single one disappeared over night and I doubt I would be alone.

I am sure that few citizens would not turn them in and then resist police or armies.

The what if game is an old one, I played it while in the military, I have yet to meet anyone that would follow an order to disarm America. The hard truth is our country has been fighting goat farmers for 15 years and losing, planes tanks etc work only in areas that people are packed rightly. The same military that trained me would quickly lose control of is soldiers if each had to choose between securing their own homes or some politicians home. Everyone I ever served with had the same answer to an order to disarm and it was switch sides. Our oath was to the people, not a president, not a congress and not a PC cause that would cause a collapse of the nation. In the end, there is only one solution and the politicians play it all the time: pretend to care, pretend firearms are the issue, change nothing and ask for votes because they tried. I have seen a few things in my life that scare me, one was some idiot on TV claiming that gun owners will disarm if ordered, they will not. I have seen (as have many soldiers) what happens when only one side is armed, it doesn't end well.

You and I disagree about how many people will turn in guns, and I am sure there will not be a militia if guns are banned. I do think it will be hard to take them from people who don't turn them in, because you would need a search warrant. But it does not really matter, does it, as guns are enshrined in the Constitution and won't go away anytime soon.

I object.

Not to the gun rights stuff. I agree that we should have the right to bear arms.

I object to your rather ignorant and biased view of the French as cowards. If you had any knowledge of history (other than a rather biased and slightly revisionist - almost psuedohistorical - understanding of WW2 history), you'd know that the French most definitely were not cowards, and if they are now (which is a matter of opinion, and even if factual, is most definitely a sweeping generalization with very many exceptions), it is most certainly a very recent development.

Thus, despite agreeing with you on gun rights, I find your ignorance offensive, and thus had to say something in a (probably futile) attempt to correct it.

So keep your gun, keep proving you are wrong by simply doing nothing, keep mocking anyone who tries to change things, keep supporting Trump who say “Give guns to teachers”.
Or you could just keep your gun shut the f**k up and stop bragging on the web.
Do it in respect of all the innocent kids who died because of your paranoia.
Think of them when you go to sleep, cause they think of you overtime they enter their school wondering if they will be alive at the end of the day.

the fortress = painless peace of mind.
It seems from what I hear that american gun owner live in the fear of agression in there house. Their strategy is to defend their bedroom with a gun. That sounds like 1930's French military defence strategy (and we agree it sucked).

About the "regular folks", I don't make deference between people, not even between you and me. But I hear the reactions of Donald Trump who speak of mad man when it is a white shooter and of pure evil whne it is a muslim. Gun fans are mostly Trump fans, So I adapt my laguage ;)

You talk about some stabbing, a few years ago... 23 shooting in amercan school and we the year isn't half gone. You are comparing an insolated incident with a recurent problem.

Horible things happen in France like in every countries. It can happen to me to my family. You have proved to the entire world that putting guns in the hand of the population make the situation worse. This is not my french point of view.

I feel safe knowing that the chance that the people walking next to me have extremly low chances to own a gun. Not only I feel safe but for the last 36 years I have been.

I can argue with my neiboor, I know he won't come back at me drunk with his gun pointing at me. This is feeling safe.

Finally what piss the world of is that dispite the obvious gun problem in the US, some gun owner will need to brag on the net with memes like the original one of this discussion. To me this is just insulting to the victims. If you want to keep you gun, at least be quiet about it.

See, you are exagerating again.

Do you have robbers in the US? yes.
Do we have robbers in France? yes.
Are your guns making a difference concerning robberies? No.
Are your guns making a difference concerning mass shootings? yes.

Concerning the "protection" that those guns provide to the US:
- Iraq War (2003-2010) 4,491 US soldiers deaths. Around 640 deaths a year
- Vietnam War (1955-1975) 58,318 US soldiers deaths. Around 3070 deaths a year
- World War 2 (1941-1945) 407,316 US soldiers deaths. Around 101,829 deaths a year
- US in 2016, 11,004 only gun homicides
- US in 2014, 8,124 only gun homicides
- US in 2010, 8,775 only gun homicides
- US in 2001, 8,890 only gun homicides
- France in 2016, 862 not only guns homicides (equivalent of 4318 for the US population)

So in 2016 you got the gun casualties the equivalent to
- 17 Irak war years
- 3.6 Vietnam war years
- 10% WW2 years
- 2.5 french homicides year

So when you say
"next time your continent decides to slaughter each other"
do you even realize what is going on in your country?
Yes ther might be a "next time" for us. But in your case you are at it forever

Do you understand why we feel sorry for you, and why we hope you make a change

Figure I found for combined total European deaths in both world wars is approaching 60-100 million. I'll ignore the other countless rediculous European wars that preceded WW1, just so I don't have to humiliate you any farther than I already will. If the US loses 10,000 people per year to gun violence(which is actually being generous to your argument, as the average of the numbers you gave me is lower than that), it will still take us SIX TO TEN THOUSAND YEARS to catch up with you barbaric f**ks in terms of killing each other. How's that for putting your bullshit into perspective with some numbers that aren't fake news? Your supposed moral superiority over the USA is a f**king joke. Get back to me in ten millenia without another european war and maybe I'll have any interest in you telling us how to reduce violence. However, knowing your country, that won't happen. Europe will have another huge war, probably with Russia, and they will once again drag the USA into a huge war that isn't ours to fight.

Even if you are making some valid points your profanity renders your argument obsolete.
Tell me, if politicians truly care about saving lives why do they not do something about the drinking problem? I know people who died in car wrecks but I know of no one killed by a gun.
Speaking of car wrecks maybe we should do something to lower speed limits. In my state a particular road had the speed increased from 55 to 65 mph because everyone was driving over the 55 speed limit.

There are many changes that can be made to save lives. But all that aside, is it moot to point out that these mass shootings happen in gun free zones? And it is against the law to kill, correct? But because of the actions of a few the rest of us must suffer the consequences?

By that logic all muslims should be deported because their religion produces terrorists. But that isn't fair to the good ones. Like wise with guns.

If you support drinking, smoking, obesity, lack of morals, etc. Don't pretend that you care about lives by wanting to hop on the popular bandwagon by wanting to ban guns. This is the result of a host of problems and you are fooling yourself to believe that banning guns will solve the problem.

And remember the 1.5 million Armenians who lost their lives due to a tyrannical government.
Remember the 20 million Russians.
Remember the 20 million Chinese.
Remember the 16 million Jews.

And never forget how it happened. They was disarmed, or never had that privilege, and the slaughter happened when the tyrannical government decided to get rid of those people.

When really they make large egos feel powerful, and are used to kill small animals, and they stroke them at night fantasizing about obliterating people of color with them...

For that matter, 80 mph is fast for any road. Country roads should not exceed 55 mph. But your definition of a country road and my definition may be two different roads. Still, 80 is way too fast. Especially considering that one car out of twenty drives the speed limit.

Cigarettes have received much hate in recent years. But it is almost considered bigotry / hate talk to discuss matters of obesity.

Well Trump hasn't done anything unconstitutional yet. But if he does, why do you think we value our Second Amendment?

I am not one of those people who believe the only way to stop bad guys is with a gun. As someone who loves martial arts, I like to think of other ways to stop murderers, rapists, etc. But guns are very good equalizers. You can't expect an elderly woman to fight off a gang of hoodlums. And even the most well trained fighter can only take on so many. While I would give myself a good chance of success being unarmed against a punk with a gun. (In the right environment. Obviously inside a building will be easier for the unarmed person than an open field.) It is practically impossible to take on multiple armed opponents. Especially if they are trained CQB.

Why bury something you could potentially need? I personally do not feel comfortable packing one around in stores / public places. But that is because I am a lousy shot. Now at home, I have a few ready.

And just because one carries a gun doesn't mean they have to kill their assailant. I have heard of many stories where the homeowner yelled out they have a gun, or just the presence of a gun, de-escalated problems real fast.

Consider this, in every mass slaughter throughout history. Those atrocities were committed by armed troops against unarmed people.

Hi sir David, You misred me I think I said 80km/h not mph :) This is a equivalent to 50 mph.

About obesity, you have to make people realize that it is wrong, for there health, not for moral reasons. Obese people need help not shame. But in the end if the person is ok with the condition well...it's his/her problem.

Why bury them?
Well if government strikes you will have time to get your guns. You did consider during the cold war that you'd had time to burry yourself in Fallout hides.
Same if another country attacks you, civilian can help the army with those hidden weapons.
If you get drunk and pissed of at your wife or neighbor or boss... it is better not to have an easy acess to it.
If you have kids, they absolutly must have no way to acess the gun, no way. Kids are smart they will find the gun.

Concerning self defense...
Well are your stats of rape and muder better than ours, sadly not. Weapon don't have a positive impact on those stats. You get weapon, criminals gets weapons. Crime scenes are only getting messier.
In France if you get mugged by 3 guys, they will get your money without guns. In the US those 3 guys are not stupid enough to mug you without a gun. In this case what is the point of having one.

You can find any example of situation in which guns could save you. But in the end if you look at the big picture the number are there. It is much safer to live in other civilised countries than in the US.

Lat point you mentioned are atrocities. Lets take the an example that is going right now of a tiranic government who is fighting its armed people : Syria. Rebels are armed. What chance do they stand against tanks, jet fighters, bombs, gas attacks. Their only hope is the help of the army of another country.

If your prsident chooses to use the full power of the US army, what can you do?
He can nuke a few states. What can you do. If they Shut down civil power plants and communication systems. You don't stand a chance. The civil war days are over.

Conlusion is that those weapon don't help you, won't help you, and only bring thier share of tragedy.

That being resonably said. How to solve your gun situation is a huge problem.

I just never found him funny, he just talks like it's supposed to be. Plus isn't he always ranking on white folks, like incessantly and only them? You know I'm into equal oppurtunity, gotta spread that hate around and trigger everybody.
Plus his voice, ugh.

Actually, someone gave me a link to a bit a few months ago, he was kinda funny. Maybe it's just what I caught in the past, like interviews on Conan that didn't work for me, and I just changed the channel when I saw him too quickly.
People seem to like him. Then again, they like Carlin too, but I don't, so....
