the fact that you're trying to misrepresent what i suggested are rivaling interpretations, as "insurmountable arguments" shows me i made a good choice. bad faith from the very start...

very true. a majority of americans support stricter gun laws and opposes school shootings.

well played Santara

There is something pretty gratifying about ignorant anti-gun activists denying the 2nd amendment supports the right to bear arms and getting called on it.
He is completely unprepared to substantiate his positions ; he is only interested in arrogantly insulting people for having different/better views.

no bad actors

Congress already has a nasty bill in the works, HR127:

https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/127

The bill makes no bones about how far the radical left is willing to go to take away our rights:



...as if our license wasn't the 2A. They also want every firearm registered, because you can't have confiscation without first achieving registration.



Here, they want the entire database accessible by the general public. Because no bad actors would ever use such a database for a shopping list on where to find the guns they want.



...here they plan to keep people from seeking mental health care for fear of losing their weapons, and open up people's rights to censure by specious claims of "danger to self or others."

But wait, there's more!



Now you'd have to pay for the exercising of your rights.

There's so much more in this bill to unpack, like the fact that they want to enable a flurry of specious lawsuits against manufacturers so that they can bankrupt the industry.

Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary. ~ Karl Marx

youcant make the bad actors argument.

Every single one of those school shootings were from bad actors taking advantage of the minimal Gun owning laws in the U.S

Quote (Santara @ 16 Feb 2021 03:45)

Of course I can. A publicly searchable database of the locations of every firearm in the country means that <anyone> inclined to go looking for the weapon(s) they want can see who has what, where they live, and then surveil them, and enter the premises when unattended.

School shootings have virtually nothing to do with our gun laws and everything to do with mental healthcare.

Australia literally ended all random mass shootings by implementing gun control, but its a mental health issue so it can never be fixed.

Quote (EndlessSky @ Feb 16 2021 03:03pm)

Australia is a home invasion hell hole.

If you want to solve mental health issues just ban divorce and welfare. Literally 100% of mass shooters were raised by single moms.
