People making false claims on social media doesn’t mean articles talking about it are false.

They seen to have _caused and supported_ unlawful government.2·1 month agoOh I’m by no means a conservative, I’m just trying to be descriptive. Conservatives are largely fully on board with ICE rounding up random brown people. They don’t value the 2nd amendment as a means of resisting government tyrany because they aren’t doing it, they’re on the side of the tyrants.
This is precisely the type of tyrany the 2nd amendment should prevent, but because guns have largely become a conservative issue, we’re stuck in the worst possible position of having both a lot of guns and tyranny.

They seen to have _caused and supported_ unlawful government.11·1 month agoGuns increase the rates of suicide, they increase the rates of domestic violence murder, and they make everyone less safe around police by giving police an excuse to use deadly force.
Yes, and cars kill more people both proportionately and in raw numbers. I’m also anti-cop. Freedoms come with downsides, just pointing out that fact isn’t an argument against the freedom. You have to argue those downsides overpower the freedom.
Guns also are not manufactured clandestinely en masse, anywhere, because it takes a lot of precise industrial machining to do at scale. They are not like sex or weed that are impossible to ban, when you stop manufacturing them for nonsense reasons, they stop circulating and criminals stop being able to get their hands on them.
I can fully 3d print a gun. I can get a cheap CNC machine and manufacture metal parts. I can reload ammo in my garage, if I’m going to shoot shot, basically all I need is a metal ball and a pipe. I don’t even need advanced technology to do this, poachers in areas with gun restrictions have a massive culture of hand made firearms. Shinzo Abe was assassinated with a home-made gun. You can drastically reduce their prevalence, but they’re impossible to fully get rid of.
I do not understand why Americans think they are such unfathomably unique snowflakes that none of the evidence or lessons learned from every other developed country could apply to them.
We aren’t. Guns drastically increase the death rates of violence and attempted suicide. Banning guns will reduce these. It does this at the cost of the state obtaining a monopoly on the legitimate use of force. I believe we can drastically reduce the rate of fun violence through testing requirements before someone can buy a gun, like what we do with cars.
Every right has consequences, we have to find a balance, not completely remove the right. I will not support disarming minorities and the working class when the state has demonstrated intent to do them harm.

Yes, arming the public will get people killed, do you think death camps are a preferable alternative?

They seen to have _caused and supported_ unlawful government.21·1 month agoThe government still needs people to enforce their laws, you can’t use fighter jets, bioweapons, and nuclear weapons against your own citizenry without losing legitimacy and leading to a civil war where foreign governments would arm all sides. Take a look at Syria, they successfully overthrew the Assad regime with the support of other nations.
We currently have armed unidentified state thugs snatching random minorities off the streets, that’s the sort of government abuse that could be stopped if liberals were armed. The state can only go so far in using force against their own citizens before it fractures and we look like the Syrian civil war.

Its also reasonable to assume someone asking why they’re needed assumes they’re used similarly to how they’re presented in pop culture
