It really seems like they're hitting blue states hardest and where gun ownership is less common.
It’s almost like the “left” in the US shouldn’t have leaned on anti-2nd amendment rhetoric for 30 years.
2nd amendment doesn’t mean everyone should be allowed to own an automatic rifle. There is nuance here, please think.
I am not playing games when I say that I wish more American leftists owned automatic rifles.
You do realise that automatic rifle ownership by civilians is incredibly illegal in the US, right? And has been for almost 100 years... An AR-15 is not an automatic rifle.
I know you said rhetoric, not actual 2A, but I will continue to say this every time I see it, this is not what 2A is for. It's clearly for militias defending the state against an enemy army. It's been mutilated into self defence stuff, but there's nothing even approaching that there.
However, 9A does protect this right, since it has long been held by the people. Regardless, the reasoning doesn't matter. People should be armed and train in operation and safe handling/storage/maintenance of their weapon, just in case it's needed.
I can’t possibly express how little I care about anything you wrote.
Get guns, kill Nazis. It’s not complex.
Wow, I didn't even write much and you lost the thread that quickly. I was agreeing with the premise.
