guns should be banned and if you think otherwise you're mentally ill, have a nice day

Banning guns for civilians does not take them away from the government nor remove them from the world, hope this helps 👍

You Aren't Overreacting. It Really Is That Bad.

by The Speech Prof

Transcript:

You can't ban guns or bump stocks. Banning things never solves anything. I mean, you could ban books … and definitely ban abortion … but guns? Guns? No no

Bump stocks don't kill people. People kill people.

What are you going to do? Ban people? You can't ban people … I mean, unless they're unhoused. Definitely make that illegal and ban them

But that's a crime, right? We have decided that they are committing the crime of not having a home

No, nobody is above the law. Okay well, unless you're the President, right? The president is above the law. But we look at the president as an expert, right? And you trust experts.

You- you always trust experts … unless they are in charge of things like food, safety, and education. Or the environment. And you know other inconsequential things

But don't- don't trust THOSE experts. That's when you trust judges.

Judges appointed by the ultimate expert, right? The President.

The President is the expert to trust, and if you don't like that, then vote!

YOU have the ultimate power as a voter … unless of course you live in a Republican state that's been gerrymandered to an absurd level right?

That's okay, though. cuz your vote doesn't matter as much as the other ones

Gotta love how murricans will, with a straight face, talk about how dangerous 3D printers are because "you can print gun parts", meanwhile 14yo's run around in schools with full auto rifles killing other kids. With guns that were bought in a store or on some gun convention.

Like where did y'all go wrong that you will take the most generic ass tool and go "we need background checks for those but not for real guns"

Judge SHUTS DOWN Democrat Gun Ban In New Mexico, We Are WINNING

[lastcatghost]

The pattern of addressing issues in the US are all the same. Criminalize and legally restrict access to something associated with obvious problems, that everyone agrees on as issues. However the focus of decreasing those issues are on what seems common sense to see as the root cause. Like guns, or substances.

But criminalizing shit only creates a need for underground pathways to access shit, and usually the most harmful to use restricted shit are people of privilege who may not have it easier to get access to something, but is less likely to be hindered by the 🐖 in their pursuit or possession of contraband.

If you wanna alleviate social issues related to things like gun or substance use, or violence in general, you have to change the cause of it and the cause of the intensity which increases over time.

But making it illegal sure as shit don't work.

Hypocrisy much, Child-Molester-In-chief?!

[tendie-defender]

Oh look gun control people are buying guns to kill people to try and get more gun control.

The process of change can involve the steps of intelligent appreciation of the artefact's potential use or misuse (gun bans come to mind), whether it can be accepted, what the impacts and costs will be, and the decision to trade or buy and then use the artefact (for example, will I buy the latest smartphone?).

And no toasters, either.

As expected, the MAGA dead-enders who showed up for disgraced former president Donald Trump's rally at the Waco, TX airport last Saturday were forced to endure an hour and a half of him whining and complaining about being held to account for his crimes. But they were additionally subject to a long list of items that attendees were not allowed to bring to the event. These included chairs, coolers, selfie sticks, drones, structures (?), balloons, balls, banners and (for reasons unknown) toasters.

Also on the list of banned items were firearms. This is not surprising because the Secret Service routinely prohibits guns at venues where protectees like current or former presidents will be in attendance. Still, it seems an odd directive in a no-permit, open-carry, gun-crazed state like Texas.

It was the same at the NRA Convention in Houston last year, held only three days after the mass shooting at an Uvalde elementary school where 18 students and two adults were killed. At the conference's leadership forum — described as "one of the most politically significant and popular events in the country" and whose speakers included an array of ardent 2A defenders, like Trump, Greg Abbott, Ted Cruz and South Dakota governor Kristi Noem — guns were banned there as well. And this was an affair sponsored by an organization whose solution to gun violence is that people should buy more guns!

When a white supremacist opened fire at Black patrons of a grocery store in upstate New York last year, Florida fuehrer Ron DeSantis mocked the idea of gun-free zones. And Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, claimed, "97.8% of public mass shootings since 1950 have occurred in gun-free zones." (A bald-faced lie, of course.)

Nevertheless, DeSantis's "Unite & Win" rallies last year, sponsored by Kirk's TPUSA, strictly prohibited guns at every one of its events. DeSantis, who supports an open carry law for the Sunshine Reich, even wanted them banned from his election-night victory celebration at the city-run Tampa Convention Center. The spineless hypocrite just didn't want anyone to know it was him. Chase Finch, safety and security manager at the center, wrote to other city employees that “it sounds like they want us to say it’s our policy to disallow firearms within the event space if anyone asks.”

Republicans are fine with people openly brandishing guns in schools, churches, bars, parks, movie theaters and your local Walmart. Only not when their own safety is at risk. They don't care if we get murdered. Just as long as it's not them.

Between 2000-2018 The amount of people that have used guns in self defense to save their own life outnumbers mass shooting victims 473,681:1 .

You can be as mad and scream all you want.

GUNS SAVE LIVES!

GuNS DoN’T KiLL PeoPLe, PeoPLe KiLL PeoPLe

Yeah, but it’s a lot harder for people who don’t have guns to shoot people.  Yeah, maybe people are gonna do violence anyway, but that doesn’t mean we have to make it easy for them

New Mexico AG REFUSES To Defend Democrat Gun Ban, Governor Will LOSE Eve...

[beauty-funny-trippy]

The difference between Democrats and Republicans:

Gus Walz, at age 17, saw his Dad, Tim Walz, up on stage, ready to accept his party's nomination for vice president. Gus was so overwhelmed with emotions that he gave his father a standing ovation as he wept. Gus made no attempt to hide or hinder his great joy, pride and love he has for his father.

Democrats celebrated Gus' reaction as a wonderful expression of the close-knit family values in the Walz household. Republicans, however, chose to publicly mock and ridicule the teenager, who is a special needs kid.

Kyle Rittenhouse, at age 17, heard about a Black Lives Matter protest regarding a police shooting in Wisconsin and drove all the way from his home in Illinois with a military-style semi-automatic rifle (the kind often used in mass shootings) to confront the protesters.

As he was threatening people with his assault rifle, brave BLM protesters tried to disarm the gunman. Kyle Rittenhouse killed two unarmed men that night, and by claiming self-defense —he got away with it.

Now, Rittenhouse is a celebrated speaker at Republican events, describing him as a "hero to millions." They give him standing ovations while chanting his name.

To review: Republicans tried to humiliate a teenager with disabilities because he openly expressed the love he has for his family. But, they praise another teenager for shooting to death two unarmed people who would be alive today if Kyle had just left his f*cking assault rifle at home.

The deranged, upside-down "values" of Trump's Republican Party are not just weird, not just perverse —they're dangerous.
