Thomas Jefferson on disarming citizens.

Thomas Jefferson on disarming citizens. | "Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed 
man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."

You're right.. freedom of speech, press, and religion are super outdated ideas. Those crusty men and everything they came up with should be thrown out

Yeah... Let's use someone from the 2000's that can't figure out which gender they are and needs a safe space because they can't cope with life.

You liberals can't even teach your kids how to start a lawnmower.

I’m too young to have children, and besides, I know how to start lawnmowers. You conservatives must really want to go back to the sexist, racist, and homophobic side of America, because that was traditional. It’s 2019, and accepting change is better for your mental health

You're too young to realize what you're saying was programmed into you, You're repeating exactly what you were indoctrinated to say. Conservatives are sexist, racist, and homophobic, Bla, bla bla. Nothing original. You're incapable of thinking for yourself. Pathetic.

You do realize that you’re being hypocritical. If you grew up with conservative parents, you’re more likely to be conservative. If you grew up with liberal parents, you’re more likely to be liberal. And besides, in one of your comments, you literally said “Let’s use someone from the 2000’s who can’t figure out which gender they are and need a space to cope with life.” It just shows your ignorance.

IF the Foundation crumbles the building will fall. They who do not know history are bound to repeat it. I do not want another revolution against our government which would amount to a second civil war.

All you need to do is look at the FBI UCR for the Democrat run cities and you will see that the murder and crime rates where they have the strictest gun control are the highest in the country.
