| irstupid said: I just love the two causes the left is fighting/protesting about right now 1. Ban all guns from civilians so only law enforcement/military have them 2. Law Enforcement are all racists, corrupt evil murderers |
This thought had sort of crossed my mind too.
On the one hand they argue that law enforcement has TOO much power and uses deadly force too frequently against the population without a just reason (at least in case of African Americans so they say), while on the other hand want to essentially disarm civillians which of course means far MORE power in the hands of law enforcement, which almost inevitably means MORE lethal force used..
Though in all fairness, I don't think most of these people are arguing for a complete dissolving of the 2nd Amendment or a total wiping away of all guns on US soil (would be virtually impossible anyway), but rather, that there needs to be stricter gun laws, which I tend to somewhat agree with. Apparently this Paddock guy was able to buy a semi-automatic along with bump stock (to boost its effectiveness) legally from what I've heard. That he was able to land such a powerful weapon that is capable of mowing down hundreds in minutes legally is highly concerning and a major red flag that the US really needs to tighten things up in that regard..
