If we take guns away from citizens...it gives way more power to both police/government as well as criminals/cartels.

I just want my safety in my hands, not in the hands of the police. There is only so much the police can do, there are more criminals than cops out there.

Also guns prevent tyranny. Like imagine a Hitler type character takes power and wants to genocide every white person in America...well good fucking luck with that buddy, it would take an entire army to take down the good old boys down south. Imagine if the Jews in Europe were even half as well armed as Americans are today...they would have fended off genocide and been able to revolt.

Anyone who says we don't need guns to protect us from tyranny is a FUCKING IDIOT. Every genocide that has ever happened has been in a place where there is gun control against citizens. If it can happen in a first world place like Germany then why not America (if guns were taken away)?

i'M PRETTY SURE CLUBS AND HAMMERS have been round longer for the purpose of killing than using to put nails in a wall. As for the dumbass morgan thats not whats happening at all.

yea, if native americans had had guns they might not have suffered genocide by european settlers

He's not saying it's a racial problem so much as... it's largely a problem that mainly effects minorties... and he's mostly right.

Not mass shootings though.   Mass shootings are usually middle class people from good homes that make good money.

"The key to subsection 1021(e) is its claim that sec. 1021 does not “affect existing law or authorities” relating to the detention of persons arrested on U.S. soil. If the President’s expansive view of his own power were in statute, that statement would be true. Instead, the section codifies the President’s view as if it had always existed, authorizing detention of “persons” regardless of citizenship or where they are arrested. It then disingenuously says the bill doesn’t change that view."

It finalizes things that already allowed it, albeit through more temporary measures.

If they had more guns it certaintly would of helped stopping that.  However actually Native American's were on a HUGE decline before we ever even got there.

Little known fact but Native American populations used to be so large that some climate scientists think that it was their development of North America that caused the medievil warming period, as they deforested too much of North America causes an increase in global temperatures.

The vikings and I think a couple other civilizations tried to settle America way before then and the Native Americans kicked there ass.

By the time the English and French got there they had been horribly wiped out by some great plague or another, and settlers were shocked at how there just seemed to be huge swarths of land that were just made for settlement. (but empty.)

The Native American populations had died off due to great diseases as well as droughts... caused by their own rapid deforestation of North America.

Yep.  The issue here is many more people die from smaller scaled shootings than Mass Shootings, but Mass Shootings get the "Glory" treatment by the media. 

And ya, I agree with the bolded.  Just felt the need to point that out.  It goes back to the new American Pasttime, deflecting the blame.  At first glance a good bit of people would "Blame Race" from the graphs.  Others would blame guns.  Then comes the actual % stats and its incredible....

All goes back to its easier to Regulate Rules on Items than to Fix Social Issues.  We have seen what happens when governments try to Force Morality (or their form of morality) on the population. 

I blame it on the metods.  Democrats still try and solve every problem with WW2 FDR era knowledge of just directly throwing money at whatever the problem is.

When we actually have advanced in social and behvaiorial sciences since then... and none of that ever gets used.

Some interesting stuff there... a little off topic but you have any references I could look at Kaz?

I agree Weimar Germany and the current USA are pretty much the same thing.
