“After months of research, we have written a 1000 page report proving the solution is fewer guns.”
Republicans: “MORE GUNS! ARM EVERYONE!”
Well yeah. When you start with the tool, the solution is always the tool.
You'll notice that its not about murder or saving lives. Its gun violence.
Why does America have some of the highest rates of gun violence in any of the developed countries, Blamemeta?
I don't know SMCF, why specifically 'gun'? Is the tool more important than the act?
Are you able to answer the question I asked or not?
Its a leading question.
Try "violence" instead of "gun violence"
Unless its not about lives and just about disarming.
I asked about gun violence on a thread about Biden creating a federal office of gun violence.
I'll assume you are unable to answer the question, Blamemeta.
The gun violence is because of violence.
Biden and the DNC are making another attempt to disarm us.
This is not rocket science.
Who banned bump stocks?
Who said “Take the guns first, go through due process second”?
Who said “I like taking the guns early, like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida … to go to court would have taken a long time”?
And Im not voting for him. Whats your point?
I’m just pointing out the last president and last political party that made a run for people’s guns.
He wasnt exactly a party regular, by any stretch of the imagination. And he got kicked out after only one term.
Who’s leading the contest for Republican nominee right now?
Does it matter? He'll be barred before the election. And its not even 2024 yet, they havent started properly campaigning
Why aren’t you upset that he has tried and will try again to take your guns?
I am, but we're talking about Biden here.
Well we started off talking about gun violence but you don’t think talking about guns while discussing gun violence is fair to the guns.
Then you switched to Biden and the DNC taking your guns even though that hasn’t happened and Trump was the last president to come after gun rights. But you don’t want to talk about that either.
I’m surprised you haven’t made up something outlandish like Biden wanting to cut off your penis and turn you into a cat girl or something because why have a real conversation when you can just get outraged about the culture war of the day.
Mate, they've been passing gun control since their inception. Are you just ignorant of US Gun Control history?
Are you American?
If so how many guns do you own?
I am, and none of your damn business.
No problem if you don’t want to participate in this conversation, gun sales have not gone down at all.
Do you have any facts you want to share with the class because you just shared your emotions.
Why is it only a US problem then?
Because it's not? What gave you that idea? Look at Mexico, for an easy example.
How is Mexico an example?
