| o_O.Q said: then you do not understand the second amendment... the purpose of it was always to provide a means of defense for citizens from an oppressive tyrannical government... its how the country was formed to begin with after all that you call the idea of a militia "crap" while at the same time claiming that you advocate for the 2nd amendment is frighteningly ignorant |
If the government sent a drone to your house to blow up your property, would you be able to stop it? Would you entrust EVERY American with the right to buy something like that? If your answers to both questions are "no", then I hate to break this to you, but no militia is stopping any oppressive tyrannical government anytime soon. They also have tanks, machine guns, RPGs, M16s, fighter aircrafts, and oh yeah thermonuclear weapons.
Some American laws can and have become simply outdated (slavery, Jim Crow). I would say it's up to present Americans to strive to be better and yes, even be better than our founding fathers.
| o_O.Q said: someone apparently needs to brush up on what saturation means |
More guns in more hands means more gun crimes. Dozens of school shootings still shouldn't happen just because of that. How does that help your argument again?
| o_O.Q said: sure... counts including suicides right? because i suppose if someone had the resolve to blow their brains out they wouldn't just use some other method if they didn't have a gun |
The link I provided counted strictly school shootings this year, not suicides. You would know that had you clicked the link...or read my previous reply properly.
| o_O.Q said: as i typed its an existential problem... asking me that is like asking me to solve the problem of death its a stupid question |
So is the goal here to just let things ride and let more school shootings happen?
| o_O.Q said: what is your solution to the mass stabbings in china? or does it suddenly not matter when its knives instead of guns? |
I honestly don't know. But if I was a Chinese citizen living in China though, I would try to learn more about it and try to find a way to at the very least lessen the amount and frequency of them.
