Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

Literally the first of the three inalienable rights is the one to life. And you're taking that life away by making it so easy to buy guns.

Oh, I didn't know you were pro-life.

Yes you did. You just decided I wasn't because of a specific wedge issue.

Oh please, what next, voting restrictions would be impeding those Founding Father granted inalienable rights?

Literally the reason for the 2nd Amendment is for the protection of life. I have not nor would I take anyone's life unless they were clearly trying to take my life or the life of someone else. And THAT is literally my unalienable right to life.

Apparently you have never bought a gun. You only hear what the liberals tell you. It is not as easy as you think, not even at gun shows. There are no gun show loopholes. That's just a Democrat talking point. The facts are these. In order to sell a gun anywhere you have to have an FFA license issued by the Federal Government. If you sell a gun without doing a background check, anywhere in the United States, you could lose your license and possibly face prison time.

Forget your liberal indoctrination and go see for yourself.

Another fact you will never hear in the mainstream media is guns are used 3.6 times more to prevent crime than to commit crime. Those are guns in the hands of private citizens and not the one carried by police officers. If you count police officers then that number goes up.

Well, it's not doing a very good job of that function, is it? If countries without a second amendment are having less children shot in schools, then it's literally doing the opposite of protecting life.

I've actually bought several guns in my lifetime. Including - completely legally - in countries that don't have a Second Amendment equivalent, and don't have school shootings because they only sell guns to people who are INCREDIBLY safe, and even then only if there's a very good reason for the gun. So, apparently, the Second Amendment has nothing to do with my own ability to have a gun, it's to do with the ability for sketchy weirdos to have a gun.

But if you're just to tell me what I've heard and when, then clearly my own experiences should be ignored because you know me better than I do, apparently.

Your right. The left has so hamstringed the 2nd amendment that it makes it very hard for anyone to protect themselves. People who cannot protect themselves are exactly the kind of people criminals look for.

"they only sell guns to people who are INCREDIBLY safe"

Most of the guns used in the commission of crime are either stolen or bought on the black market. The majority of people who buy firearms legally are "INCREDIBILY safe". These mass shooters are not NRA members. Most of the mass shooters are liberals or communists.

When "sketchy weirdos" purchase firearms, who's faults is that? It is the government. The government never gets much criticism even though they are the ones who have let murders purchase guns because their database is so obsolete.

You are the one who said it is too easy to buy a gun. I suppose you think a background check and (in some cities or states) a waiting period is too easy? What would you do any different?

And yet, every other country has figured out how to stop guns from being stolen or bought in the black market in the first place. What magic sorcery is that and how can we get in on that here?

Oh no, a few years ago? An attack happened there a few years ago?

WE'VE HAD 27 SCHOOL SHOOTINGS THIS YEAR. And we're only half way through the year. And you're still talking like ending attacks after they have already happened is the goal post.

China figured it out because EVERYONE BUT US has figured it out. This isn't a magic Communist thing, this is a SOMETHING SO OBVIOUS WE'RE THE ONLY PEOPLE NOT DOING IT thing.

"And you're still talking like ending attacks after they have already happened is the goal post."

You misunderstand. I am talking about mitigating the damage cause by these psychos. If teachers were armed and trained, then shooter A) would never attack schools or B) if they did then the damage, they caused would be minimal.

So, you think China is the model we should follow? That is NOT the solution. I really don't think there anyway to stop mass shootings other than to arm and train teachers. And that's just the ones that happen at schools. Elsewhere, we should remove any and all gun legislation ever passed. Get as many people armed as possible and the psychopaths will just have to stay home.

You think disarming everyone is the answer and I say that is hogwash. You can clearly see that in cities with strict gun laws have more fatalities than cities with few or no gun laws.

The Aurora, Colorado shooter went across town to a theater who did not allow firearms in their theater. He passed a theater that was much more convenient for him, but he wasn't interested in that one because they allowed people to conceal carry in their theater.

Yeah, and I'm talking about these psychos not causing damage to mitigate in the first place! There are no armed nor trained teacher in Britain, last schol shooting they had was 1996. EVERYONE is able to handle this without armed and trained teachers.

Freedom comes with a price. The UK is not as free as we are. No one is as free as we are. But that's not saying much because we used to be much, much freer. There has been so many freedoms that have been ripped from us in the name good intentions or safety or whatever other excuse they can think of.

Freedom is not easy or popular because it puts a lot of responsibility on the individual. There just too many people who will gladly give a little freedom here and a little freedom there just so the government will do something for them.

So do you want to be more free or less free. That is the real question. Guns are just the current battle in the war for liberty.

I didn't realize until now that you were pro life glad to see you around our side.

Personhood starts at birth, though.

Those so-called inalienable rights were given by the Founding Fathers and then only to WASP land owning adult males. And that concession to the peons only because they didn't want American Revolution Pt II because there would be no Atlantic Ocean buffer between a pike and their gloriously wigged dandy French-styled makeup for gentry painted heads. Otherwise they would have appointed Washington king and themselves the aristocratic class lordsing over the putrid criminal penal colonist serfs they were stuck with to strike out on their own here.

The arbiter of who gets to exercise which right and when would be the legislature and the courts, as witnessed by the expansion of the granting of those rights to those that were once the lesser classes and chattle of that once select class.

No [note spelling] your history.

Please comment only when you understand history. You revisionists seem to think history is up for artistic license and you can alter the facts however it pleases you.

What you said is pure unadulterated BS. It's fabricated by people who hate this country and and everything about it.

I comment whenever the fhuck I like, cuz the FIRST Amendment sez so. Got a problem with that? Good, it gives you the right to do that too.

The intent wasn't for lesser endowed ticking timebomb incels to go redecorate their local Denny's with sprayed blood etching Reich Wing manifestos on the walls.

Try learning some history, or simply read the darn thing, including the prefatory clause (That's the "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State" part).

Bill of Rights banking on illiteracy. The wonders.

Comment whatever you want. Just give us a disclaimer that what you are saying is your own delusion and not actual fact.

Shush, newb, and go to back to sleep.

What about all of that 1st Amendment stuff you were ranting about?

yOu just read some

You talk about your first amendment rights but of course dems are the ones blocking everyone and banning them.

r/whoosh x pi

In my defense, I only did so because some old farts who wanted to grant those rights only to rich landowning men later were basically forced to expand them to include me *rolls eyes*
AKA Sarcasm. Because it's a thing.

Oh oh, he brought up the dreaded DEMONcratz!
I take it you missed the news a mere two weeks ago about all the books banned by their Repug bed buddies in Redneck States?

Again you use the first amendment to help your argument but the 2nd amendment is wrong. I'm pretty sure you can just pick and choose which amendment you want.
