Founding Slave Rapists?Your slave ancestors were a joke. Local townie-militia put them down on several occasions. No need for more.
Besides... Founding Fathers from up-north (regions without substantial slave populations) wanted the Right to Bear Arms, as well.
The citizenry of our Republic have that Right... and I, for one, will be happy to join them in sustaining that Right.
again, buddy, what the Founding Slave Rapists wanted 250 years ago isn't the point.
Does an armed citizenry make sense NOW? What benefit do we get out of it that offsets 40,000 gun deaths a year and 229 BILLION in economic losses?
Does it make us safer? Not really. We have the highest crime rates in the industrialized world.
Does it protect us from tyranny? Not really. Trump shows you can have an absolutely crazy person in power, and people won't do that much about it.
A fertilizer/fuel oil bomb is hardly high tech.
And we all know the US military isn't going to fire on their family and friends.
I don't know that. Frankly, when I was in the National Guard, those guys couldn't wait to bust some heads. We actually had to have an officer remind them that those were our fellow citizens.
Sometimes, suicide is a carefully-reasoned decision.Suicide is just another choice you don't want people to be able to make for themselves
No, I don't. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
You do not seek compromise, you seen acquiescence.If you don't start compromising and showing some reason, you may lose more than you bargained for.
Pop quiz, Einstein:They let the Federal Assault Weapons ban EXPIRE three months after he was shot, Einstein.
Wow.. that's MIGHTY generous of you...That's a big compromise for me.
Really?I have already said a few billion times that an assault weapons ban like the one in 1994 would satisfy me...
Your post hoc fallacy aside....The ban apparently held the cap on mass shootings. They did not increase during those 10 years...
You argue from ignorance.Fuck you. I have seen the stats on what happened during the Federal Assault Weapons Ban and if you think they weren't able to figure out what an "assault weapon" was, think again because they were defined AND banned for ten years, including those nasty AR-15's that you boys like to play Rambo with.
Of all the rights we have, the right to keep and bear arms is, by far, the most heavily regulated.Maybe if 194 out of 195 countries see the sense in regulating gun ownership, maybe it's us that need to rethink things.
Yeah, that was a huge brain fart, wasn't it? Don't know how 1994 got stuck in my brain.Pop quiz, Einstein:They let the Federal Assault Weapons ban EXPIRE three months after he was shot, Einstein.
When was Reagan shot?
When did the federal government enact a 'ban' on 'assault weapons'?
You'll note I have corrected you several times in this thread.Thanks for the thoughful correction, though.

You could be more appreciative - I'm only trying to help you with your ignorance.Trip over that ego of yours much?You'll note I have corrected you several times in this thread.Thanks for the thoughful correction, though.
And yet, the sale and manufacture of one rifle was banned 1994-2004; the sale and manufacture of the other was not.Who cares what it looks like? What it could do was what counted.
Tell me what the two guns are and what their capabilities are, and then we'll have this discussion. I am not interested in your card tricks.And yet, the sale and manufacture of one rifle was banned 1994-2004; the sale and manufacture of the other was not.Who cares what it looks like?

How could the ban any any effect on mass shootings?
