Meaning now the state gets to dictate who gets to have weapons, making violent revolution impossible.
The police are full of right wingers. What makes you think they won't simply label all left-wingers as mentally ill, deny you access to weapons and then kill you all?
This is gonna be a bitter pill for you to swallow, but protecting people's basic human rights is more important than lowering gun deaths. And you refuse to accept that at your own peril.
An idiot with a gun isn't going to help with any of that.
They will rather make it worse.
Stop allowing crazy people access to offensive weapons.
A dedicated group of marginalized people with guns will, though, and that is what gun bans -- I'm not gonna let you lie and ca it gun control anymore -- is intended to prevent.
Stop trying to force me to submit to your opinion.
You're not in the real world where you can shout and use violence, and bold text does not substitute for that
Do we have car bans (for the general populace, not people who were banned because they committed a crime) because you have to be licensed to use one?
Do I waste my time arguing about gun control to someone who is clearly not listening and who clearly only cares about themself and their political cause at the expense of reality, human rights and human life?
At the expense of human life? Wtf? Allowing everyone to have guns protects human life?
Human rights? No. Constitutional rights? Maybe, but debatable. Ownership of firearms is not a recognized human right anywhere.
We require car licenses because they're dangerous to operate, even if you almost require them to live. We don't consider this banning them, and we hardly consider it an inconvenience.
We don't require firearm licenses despite them also being dangerous but serving no practical purpose for 99% of the population. Somehow instituting any kind of licensing is called a ban by people like you. I don't understand. Please explain.
I'm listening perfectly well. I don't think the issue of paying attention is on my end.
