Don't like guns? Don't own one.
Dont like drugs? Don't take them.
Don't like abortion? Don't get one.
Dont like religion? Dont worship one.
But once again I feel like all of those restrictions are going to just get tossed on 2a grounds. I guess I just fail to see people that are responsible owners fighting to keep it responsible. If the 2a crowd can't figure this out then I'm in the ban them all camp.
I’m in the ban them all camp
The truth comes out. Isnt it easy to be honest with your intentions?
Sorry you couldn't pick that up. But yea, if we can't figure out a way to let you keep your gun while minimizing mass shootings then yea, we should ban them all.
In many states, AR-15s are classified as assault weapons, a legal term used to describe guns that lawmakers determine are meant to be used offensively rather than defensively, based on characteristics such as magazine capacity and the size of the weapon.
This excerpt right here tells me all I need to know. The state holds the right to decide what can be used “offensively and defensively”. Defeats the entire purpose of the 2nd amendment and they were 100% correct to strike this down. They should be limiting modifications designed to kill large numbers of people like extended mags and switches. The AR-15 is a semiautomatic rifle and in my opinion doesn’t fit the bill.
Glad that the constitution still matters.
Now let's add the worker's bill of rights to the constitution so that the material conditions of society are improved and mass shootings are even less common, and suicides decrease.
It'd be hilarious if a bunch of black people, lgbtq and immigrants started picking these up in droves and then they suddenly revisited this topic.
You share values of banning minorities from owning firearms with racist haters? Telling on yourself here...
Gun bans started when thr Black Panthers armed up and patrolled their neighborhoods to protect people from cops.
Gun control has often been enacted for racist reasons. Yet one more reason to be excited the rights of the people were upheld today.
And gun control is often repealed when the dominant group in society wishes to increase violence against minorities.
