That isn’t a flaw though. What they said is technically true. The “good guys” (who may not be good or guys) are protecting themselves and those around them by hiding in a room with the ability to shoot anyone who comes in. That saves lives. Their lives. They do not (and should not) become wannabe Rambos who run around…

It is damn hard to get one. It takes months and your name is registered with the local PD. You have to tell them when you move.

You do know that calling a system of Gender norms which hurts both genders and is reinforced by regressive elements of both genders “the patriarchy” is part of the lack of empathy. Its victim blaming.

Notice they are fine. That is the point. Not that they become police officers and confuse who is an active shooter. It is so if people shoot at you, you can shoot back and then stop, and not make yourself a potential target when the police arrive.

But you know, they will still die right? Like sure give up the guns, but step one is you still need to actually pay enough taxes to bring back a mental health system.

“There is no anarchy. Armed criminals aren’t ruling the streets while defenceless innocents cower in their homes.”

You do NOT want to go back to the original intent of the 2nd Amendment, which was to ensure each state could have its own parallel military outside of federal control, with legal access to any weapon the federal government could have (also, it prevented the federal government from banning weapons on behalf of states,…

We could undo the “reforms” from Reagan and bring back a mental health infrastructure to America. A side bonus: This would also pretty much end chronic homelessness almost overnight. Cut down on the prison population too. Also, it would help our vets. You know, it would really just do a lot of good.

So Canada has strong gun control and just experienced a shooting spree, again by a mentally ill individual.

The 2nd amendment was meant to allow state military formations completely outside of federal control. They were to ensure the Governor of Florida would have his own nuclear arsenal to combat a federal nuclear arsenal.

“cut down on murder and suicide BY GUN.”

Gun Owners are also more likely to be a VICTIM of crime than a PERPETRATOR, so I guess neither guns nor mental illness are at fault then?

The 2nd Amendment was changed BY LIBERALS to be about personal firearms. The 2nd Amendment didn’t originally allow that, it was well regulated militias. What it meant was that State’s could have their own military 100% outside of federal control (not the state national guard which does ultimately answer to the…

Its not bullshit, he showed every warning sign. Its like saying that 9/11 wasn’t a terrorism issue it was an airplane control issue.

Well in Japan its nerve gas on the subway and China is machete attacks on pre-schools. Bombs are pretty common as well. It does happen less in other countries, because unlike post-Reagan America, they have mental health infrastructure.

Which is interesting because “crazyland” is the problem. Reagan destroyed the mental health system in America, causing this. Blaming gun control laws is part of the idiocy. Unless you are going to ban all guns (which the 2nd prohibits), gun control laws don’t work. If you are willing to ban all guns by going after the…

Everyone complaining about the second amendment is missing the real problem. The first amendment. No gun laws in the world (that allows any form of access to firearms) would stop the crazy person unless you first make it legal to arrest people for saying crazy dangerous things.
