I don't buy into the leftist projection, the giant gaps between what Trump said and did and what you pretend he said and did. Your narrative isn't based on fact, just a bunch of leftist hatred, Mr. Blue Pill.

If he's Mr Blue Pill, you are Mr Suppository.

Yep. No more need for guns. Let's disarm the populace. Then there will be peace, joy, love, and harmony. We'll all join hands and sing old folk songs.

Idiocy has nothing to do with political party.

Funny, that. It probably doesn't have anything to do with this-

Meanwhile, hunting, the traditional use of guns, is falling off.

But they're still selling the Hell out of guns...

No it will just be much harder to murder your fellow citizens in mass quantities.

Cmon man, that's what makes us free and a beacon of light for the free world. If I'm not free to gun down people by the dozens, it won't be the America I pledged allegiance to.

You and I both know the chances of this happening are about the same as getting the Green New Deal in motion. In other words, zero.

He banned people from seven countries. Also, complaining about Mexico isn't disparaging brown people for the sake of being brown. You guys create the emphasis on race and skin color.


So what word or phrase would you call a person calling all people from a country rapists?

So why even try...things worth doing are hard, if they were easy there'd be no problems.

So whats your plan on doing this? The first would be repealing the 2nd. Only one amendment has ever been repealed, so what do you think the chances of the 2nd being repealed are?

My plan starts with banning all semi-automatics, except for police and military. That includes speed loaders for revolvers. Strict limits on ammo sales and reloading supplies. Buy back programs for semi-auto currently in possession, with penalty for not complying. This won't affect hunters and will definitely slow down mass shootings. See where we are after this is implemented.

Sean Hannity Proposes Massive Armed Force To ‘Surround’ All Schools And Stores

“Every school,” Hannity said. “Secure the perimeter of those schools. Equip them with retired police and military, they should be on every floor of every school.”

Retired police and military could volunteer for 15 hours a week in exchange for paying no federal or state income taxes, he suggested.

“We can do that with stores. We can do that in malls. We can do that pretty much anywhere the public is,” Hannity said. “Courthouses, we can expand that out everywhere and keep Americans safe.”

Pretty much anywhere the public is? You mean like a police state, Sean? ...Jesus Christ, these people are complete tools!

Asks for a plan, then tells him what the plan is, lol...

The 2A is open to interpretation. Republicans are not the only ones who can pack courts. Americans will eventually get sick of madmen with guns mowing down dozens of people at a time and vote for change. Democrats pack courts, interpret the 2A differently, pass legislation accordingly.

The 2A was meant to protect the citizens from a centralized government suppressing the plebes. It's says absolutely nothing about what guns the plebes can own. As it is, our country has changed so drastically since it's origins that if the feds ever wanted to attack the masses, even the amount of guns we have.now would do little to stop it. Some bring a knife to a gun fight, others bring a gun to a bomb fight.

I certainly haven't advocated disarming the populace. I object to the way guns are marketed through fear & fetishism. I object to the notion that civilians have a legitimate use for the enormous firepower provided by modern semi-auto high capacity drop magazine handguns & military carbines. The fact that they're really cool toys does not offset the danger they pose to civil society. We can readily prevent the sale of such weapons to the public while complying with the second amendment.

You mean gun owners wouldn't be law-abiding citizens and give them up to a buy back program? I realize criminals most likely wouldn't. They'd get life sentences with no parole for using them in a crime.

OK? So how do you get guns off the street and out of people's homes?

Gun control doesn't mean repealing the 2nd does it? (although that would be the best solution)
