“anti-corruption and stuff?” Maybe she ought to get a basic education before embarking on a political crusade.

You people make zero sense.

Consider this echo chamber...

I would hope nobody is going to shoot a burgalar with any kind of rifle unless they have 2" thick steel walls in their house or live 5 miles from anyone else. Handgun or shotgun please. No need to kill the neighbours too.

Our society does glorify violence and death to further their political agenda, just as many articles on Kinja websites have done in the past few days.

I can kind of see where both sides are coming from here. On one hand, mass shootings count for a bare sliver of actual gun deaths in America, and most of the focus and panic is being driven by the fact that this is very emotionally intense: it happened to children, it happened in a “safe” place, and it looks dramatic.…

Yes, and you would be breaking the law.

They wouldn’t do that - the statistics show that the majority of those gun-related deaths occur in cities that have the strictest gun control laws on the books. Like all current media, they’d rather cherry pick the information to support their narrative.

So because of a comment about one crazed SJW girl he now “virulently hates women, Muslims and other groups of people”? I mean c’mon, get out of your comfort bubble. (And yeah, a lot of so called social justice warriors are quite zealous about everyone and everything they regard as offensive almost as survival of…

The article you’re linking doesn’t really explain or back up your points about the guy though.

There wouldn’t be. Because unarmed people like you would quickly catch a hot one if you tried to take property that didn’t belong to you. Conversely, you’d likely catch another one super quickly immediately after those laws passed, because ‘they’ (I), a little down on my luck, and knowing you both just LOVE…

It is nowhere near as stupid as choosing to assume you have the right to speak for three other people though.

As Alex points out in the piece, the repeal of the 2nd is probably not necessary. The interpretation of the 2nd amendment that supports an individual right to bear arms is all of 10 years old.

you seem full of hate yourself....

Then move to the UK or any other country that doesn’t allow gun ownership. What most anti gun people fail to is realize, or worse simply ignore or lie about, is the Second Amendment was intended to protect the population from an overreaching government.......the very reason the UNITED STATES ended up being created.…

It isn’t that Republicans are against any and all gun control. The problem is that Democrats don’t think that anything short of a full ban and confiscation of any and all firearms, other than the ones used by their bodyguards, qualifies as gun control.

Alright, let us do that, you need a two-thirds majority of both houses and three-fourths of the states have to ratify. Odds of that happening, well, how do you feel about being struck by lightning constantly for thirty or forty years.

As soon as you do that, you’ve just validated every fear of the radical gun owner. That would be a very very scary day, as you’d most likely start a bloody civil war. the truth is the answer is in the middle, most gun owners are responsible, like most car owners are responsible. but it’s the few that give the…

What’s interesting is that using those phrases is a form of virtue signaling in and of itself. You’re letting us know that you are not a snowflake with your tough words.

That aside, I think you’re half right.

Yeah, it’s kind of weird that people are attached to the band at all - it would be like complaining about the lineup of Foo Fighters. Smashing Pumpkins is Billy Corgan, regardless of who else is on stage or in the studio. I don’t say that to diminish the rest of the band (I really dig James Iha’s solo stuff for…
