Why does it matter? People should be able to buy what they want

There's always a reasonable limit to individual freedom. Like you can't say fire in a crowded theater. If you completely uphold individual freedom at the expense of the community, everyone will eventually suffer.

Edit: keep down voting. Y'all are wrong and you know it. It's an uncomfortable truth. Grow up.

Fire in a theatre presents a clear and immediate danger to the public and can cause immediate harm. Same with bomb in an airport. Buying a suppressor does not oresent a clear or immediate danger not cause immediate harm. A better analogy for the 2nd amendment would be open carry, which is often banned in certain places and has more restrictions. Buying 27 suppressors is closer to buying a lot of offensive t-shirts.

tell that to the 60 murdered and 413 wounded in vegas by a gun hoarder.

[–] jumping_redditor@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

that was from using guns, not hording them

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

lol, how does one employ a horde of arms without amassing the horde?

Look we get it, this is your fetish, you're not going to reply with any kind of reason.
